It's been easy to blow off the much-needed maintenance the last few months and it was left in pieces about the time the streets cleared up last spring. :-)
Me too. A few of the intersections were very slick and some cars spun out. Otherwise it was uneventful other than my feet were cold. I haven't gotten all my winter gear out yet.
I sold the Nexus 8 speed rear wheel from my winter bike last week so I could fund the remaining pieces I need to build the Alfine wheel and disc brake. Needless to say I don't have all the parts yet so my winter bike is out of commission at least until next week.
This morning was probably the slipperiest conditions I've yet ridden my road bike under. It worked OK but it was kind of odd trying to take off from a stop light and having the wheel spin like it was on a bike stand.
