My derailleurs also freeze up. Usually I give the rear bar-end shifter a full-range shift, IE: from the smallest to largest cog and back, then shift to the gear I want. Moving the cable in the housing that much seems to help free it up. Usually the issue is moisture from warm air (inside)

They are not too bad, it all depends on the type of snow. They did turn out to be a little tall for the Sam's clearance so I had to remove my fenders until I can afford to buy a shorter studded equivalent. Currently the crown keeps the snow off the lugs! :) That all being said the do ride

I hear you on the frozen brakes! I have to kick my derailleurs to get them to shift most mornings. Not the best long term care for the bike but it gets me there! gabe On Thursday, February 5, 2015 at 7:53:12 PM UTC-5, Kieran J wrote: Here's one from a grocery stop on tonight's evening
