26 degrees in my garage... Will the babies be ok, or is it better to bring them inside?

Bringing them inside causes condensation inside the tubes, etc. Leather, rubber and steel are highly tolerant of cold. They’ll be fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] My Rivbikes are frozen...are they safe?
What Tim said, if you ride them regularly in the winter. My Rivs live upstairs winter or summerbut I don't ride them in the winter. Actually I don't ride in the winter at all anymore...but...just slightly OT, those fat tire bikes like the Pugsley are piquing my interest as a change-up winter outdoor activity.

Re: [RBW] My Rivbikes are frozen...are they safe?
Not only will the frame condense water inside it, after suddenly bringing a cold bike into a warm, humid house, but the hubs will, too. This has led to premature bearing failure. So, let them stay cold. Leather and rubber last longer in the cold and dry, anyway!
