: I got a Trek 5900 in Spring this year to replace my trusty Trek 7000

Somewhat OT, but I wouldn't use the 5900 over the winter. Once the
council starts gritting the roads I'd put it away till the summer.

Otherwise you'll have a bike in a right state come the summer.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping to stretch as much use as is possible out of
it before winter hits us full on. It's a little tough to do the miles I
want to do on a morning with the mountain bike. Roll on summer :-(
