Last winter the last time I used my brake, it stuck shut. I had a cab driver in front of me doing a U-turn. It wasn't fun. I don't think I'll ever ride with brakes in the winter again.

Now if only I could ride my track bike without being worried about what the road salt would do to her...
Yeah, I think I'll save my Campy and Phil hubs for next summer, and build a MA3/Surly wheel for the winter. Steamroller frame is good that it accepts 35c cyclocross tires and Nokian ice stud grannies (which weight a ton)
