Parts freezing up? You should get a mountain bike.

In the bikes defence, I believe it was the cable that froze. That frame will outlive me.

had a rear derailleur cable housing freeze up on me. that little loop down by the derailleur. didn't realize it until I was 1/2 mile from home, on my way to work 13 miles away, in early morning darkness, w/ temps in teensF. had to stop, take it a part, clear the ice manually, then reassemble it all. didn't take too long but what a pain in that cold & darkness! grrrIn the bikes defence, I believe it was the cable that froze.

Another lesson is to be cautious in changing up in freezing weather because you may not be able to change back down again!learned a valuable lesson tho - don't clean your bike when you get home from work with a water bottle & then leave it outside over night!
