That's about the temperature where I sometimes have trouble with the rear hub freezing up making it freewheel in both directions. I had that problem yesterday when it was -22F during my commute. I hadn't got around to winterizing that hub yet, as we normally don't see temperatures that cold until later in the winter. Foolish of me, really. Today I rode an old 3-speed at the same temperature. No problems.
