Riding in the snow?

I couldn't imagine that this could hurt your uni. We got our first snow
of the year and this is the first time I've had a chance to ride in the
snow, so of course there was quite a bit of snow packed on to my uni. Is
there a chance that some water might get where water shouldn't be?

Yeah snow has a way of getting water into every part of your uni, but
the bigger factor might just be the cold. If you keep your uni inside,
the condensation that forms when you bring it in from the cold will
cover every metal part with a thin film of water... The spots that tend
to be troublesome are where your cranks and hub interface, and your
bearings. Keep these greased up as well as any other part that might
rust and you should be good.

I've never had trouble.
I keep my unis outside in the snow all the time.
Riding's cool too.

I think the biggest problem would be salt that is often put on roads and
around town by store owners and such.

The salt will dry out your tire and accelerate rust on any steel parts
it may get on. I'd wipe it down and bring it inside (or garage). I've
heard of people spraying their uni w/ a thin coat of W-D 40 to protect
from rust.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
