From: Rochester, NY

Location: Rochester, NY
Winter season temperature range estimate for 06/07: 0F low/45F high (so far)w
Snow estimate: A few feet so far, hopefully lots more
One-way mileage: 8
Bike: 21 Speed Giant Hybrid
Conditions: Salt, Slush, and Snow(On the MUP, they don't plow them)
Frame: Aluminum
Tires: 700x35 hybrid treads, 700x35 Steel Studded
Part Replacements: 1 Set of Brake Pads, 1 Set of brake cables, tires from the hybrid to the studs.
Preventative Wipe down as needed(2-3 a week), re-lube the chain when it starts to squeak.
Preventative season: Haven't thought that far ahead yet, but I did grease up a bunch of stuff in the early winter.
Lubricants and cleaners: triflow for the cabling, Wax Lightning or some such thing for the chain.

First year commuting, so I'll prob. get more into the cleaning, maintenance etc, next year as I realize all the damage I did to the ride from not doing enough this season.
