Winter

[Gravity Aided]

Well with riding to work every day I would say a 2nd is mandatory.

Quite true, keeps any problems from becoming crises. When I commuted, I always had a backup bicycle in case the Schwinn had problems.

The Crud Roadracers are very good and easy to refit every winter once you've set them up. You can adjust bad misfits with a hot air gun or hairdryer and some careful bending. They will keep you and the bike a lot cleaner but do heed the advice to clean off the road salt and run a fluffy cloth behind the brake blocks after cleaning the braking surfaces. Once my current set of Ksyriums wear out I'm going to sell my Roubaix SL4 and buy a winter bike with hydraulic disc brakes.

I do keep checking local adds to see if I can pick up a cheap winter hack

East Sussex - that's pretty hilly, isn't it? I was just wondering if you could manage on a single speed, cos if so one of those (esp with disc brakes and mudguards) is a doddle to maintain as a winter ride.

where I’m located is very hilly I love my climbs.

Visited the local CFC looking for a bike for my daughter also said to him if you get a good cheap winter hack in let me know.
