It's really easy to get caught up in the details. Just enjoy yourself and use the gears that feel good!
Thank you. The reason I posted this though, is because some of the details are important. Like when I was riding my bike and I did something wrong with the gears and it started making the loud noise. I wouldn't know what I did wrong if I didn't look it up or ask on here, and I wouldn't know about how much damage I could cause if I do that again. So sometimes it's good to get caught up in those details before you go out and have fun. Like how you need to read the instructions for something before you use/do it. You're not gonna have fun if you get confused and/or accidentally break your new item, are you?
