As today was the first sunny day I&#8217;d been home, I decided to wash it off, 20\u00b0F (-6.66\u00b0C) weather be damned. Having a straight hot water line from the house kept the job from being too cold, and I was able to keep ice from forming on the bike. Now the bike is mostly dried off and sitting behind me in my office drying the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>The lockout on the fork seems to be broken, so I&#8217;m going to try and take it into the shop this week and see about having it fixed. I purchased the bike just after Christmas last year, so hopefully it&#8217;s still under warranty.<\/p>\n<p>I think I need to look into some clip-on mountain bike type fenders for future poor weather riding. <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/bike_stuff\/IMG_2840.jpg.html\">Here is another photo, this one of the down tube, BB, crank, etc area.<\/a> That night was really muddy for this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After some slushy \/ muddy riding on 26-Nov my bike needed to be washed.
