Winter Bike Maintenance
It's my first year with a Road bike and I don't want winter to come at all, but living in Colorado you kind of have to accept it. Luckily I built a winter commuter and still have my Mtn. Bike. However, I have a couple questions about what to do with the Road.
1. Is there anything I should do with it maintenance side since it is going to be just hanging out in the house for a few months without any use?
2. Is it better to get a full tune up before or after the bike goes into "hibernation"?
Thanks Everyone!

make sure everything is well lubed before you hang it up, get any dirt off of it and try and keep it someplace that is moisture free, thats about it. tune-up in the spring not now.
