Storm 5- Winter road Biking in Ottawa…
Storm 5- Winter road Biking in Ottawa Valley. I wash the Bike with pressure washer. First Year - Freehub has water ingress and freezes (took it apart and rusty) - Fully repaired/replaced internal components. Pedals rusted and would not 'Spin'easily - Replaced. Rear Brake Cable allows water into the sleeve, replaced both units. 2nd Year- Needed to replace BottomBracket, Fell apart & rusty, was not a sealed unit. Replaced with Sealed Unit. Love the Bike but the original parts leave a lot to be desired. If you can do your own work and have all the tools It is okay, but it would cost a lot to get a shop to fix/upgrade.
