I still haven't seen your pictures. Work must block them. Water pipe insulation is good. I use to use it but haven't recently. I may resort back to it. My hands took a beating this morn' When I ride bike 1 I have no hand problems but when I get to bike 2 the cold sets in. Bike 2 sits out all night in the bike box so everything is really cold. This AM 9F. Even with my mountaineering gloves my hands felt cold. I may give you insulation pipe a try. I don't know about you guys but this winter is getting friggin' old.
