The light is a Busch & Muller IQ X. Changed the hinged mount, which moved, for a standard metal one. Love the light. The forks are carbon/alloy steerer that came on bike from Spa. Do you have the all carbon fork?
Yes. All carbon fork. It is nice but I would have liked a bolt or hole on the front of it. There’s one on the back for mudguards. Your set up is great.
You'll have to have the fork pointing backwards so you can have a light mounted forwards. You know like those bikes sold with special back to front forks.
Yours sounds like an excellent bike. If the 36x32 bottom gear is low enough for you, then there's no reason to consider anything lower. I have done audaxes on 34x28 but I felt a little bit overgeared on some hills at the end.
Proved its worth on it's first audax outing, the very wet Venetian Nights on 28/09. Comfy geometry, great gearing, 30mm tyres at 70psi, disc brakes - oh yes. Completed without any niggles, very much better braking in the wet and no more pedal hot spots. Very happy.
Oh well if people are going to wibble on about new bikes.... Shouldn't the perfect Audax bike have a little writing desk on it for the form-filling?
Nah, that needs a gooseneck flexi lamp at the top and lips on 3 sides at the bottom for pencils.
Sounds like your return to Audax has had a good start .
And the mini calculator for calculating time in hand
Since writing that I have had a new steel bike made by Richard Hallett. A slight change of direction, the new one has big tyres (38mm tubeless) and slightly relaxed angles. I still have a road-triple on it though. Interestingly enough, it doesn't feel any heavier than the old Omega Ti frame.
