to fix frozen cables, bring it inside to let the ice in the housing melt. Then shoot some WD-40 onto the cables and inside the cable housing and work it around. The WD-40 will displace all the water inside the cable housings and add a thin lubrication, which is plenty for cables to not freeze into place.
I loathe that.... **it. Gummy later on.. attracts dirt and dust like a magnet. Might.. be a decent salad dressing I guess.
ANYONE ever shoot something like carb cleaner.. or something similar into the lines?
My old winter bike has never frozen.. 2nd winter now and near 3000 miles. New one.. new cables... PITA.
