I love my ti audax/road bike but don't like the idea of the drive train getting clogged up and knackered in the winter.
Which leads me to think of what can I do to protect the bike during the winter months?
Few ideas-
Convert the bike to fixed - it does have semi horizontal dropouts so won't be a problem but it's a bit of a pain and would involve cutting cables - possibly? I'd need new cranks/ and wheels - probably brakes too.
Add rust proof/ti components - drive train - don't even know if this is possible.
Scrap all the above and build a fixed frame for winter duties - easily the most costly.
