i have one bike that is completely frozen icicles and all because of the weather - my shifters were sticking. i decided to take my other bike for the commute to work. i'm guessing that leaving the first bike out in the rain all year long, some liquid must be in the lines. probably froze and that's my problem. can't move it now because i don't want to break anything with the ice all over it.

the second bike has hydraulic brakes, but shifters are still mechanical - only thing i can think of is some liquid (water,rain) must be in the lines of the other bike to make the shifters stick. the second bike shifts fine.

saw the snow and thought i might ask for experiences through the -10 below with windchill weather. last year i didn't have this problem. good thing i have a second bike now.

....by 'first bike' i mean the gt hardtail, and 'second bike' i mean the ironhorse
