I hate how winter destroys my commuter so badly. I need to figure out something better for winter lube.
I dropped $200 on having the thing overhauled this fall, and already my front derailleur is seized (I have to unclip and kick it to shift to a smaller ring) and I can't pedal backwards as the chain tensioner is also partially siezed.
Fixing a chain that fell off on the way to work Monday wasn't fun.
I really don't mind winter riding until we get to this point and everything stops working. I don't even want to try fix it because it's too freaking cold. I have a weekend project I guess. Any lube suggestions for something that will penetrate all of the corrosion I'm taking on and keep things working??
