Re: For cold weather riding - check those tire pressures!
down here in florida the weather has been crazy! my back tire was only 13psi this morning but my front was 24. given that it was only 32 degrees this morning I left the front where it was but filled the back up to about 25. I figured after riding and the weather warming up they'd be about right. It's currently 47 here. I have one of the shitty old tire gauges that has the little stem that spits out, so I'm not sure how accurate it really is. If it's within 2-3 psi I don't really worry about it.
Over the weekend I didn't ride at all and the temps were down into the 16-17 degree range overnight, with highs of 31-32 during the day. My poor tires! I need an air compressor so I don't have to drive to the gas station all the time!
