Yes a change of tyres is a must. Also brake blocks

I see.

Do you guys use different bikes in winter or change around bits on your bikes you normally use??

This is mine, just wish I could get out and ride it.

An old plugger normally. Something you don't mind trashing in the crappy weather or bother washing. I'm going to ressurect a build for the Dunkeld meet. Bought a cannondale frame of TK for a fiver and was going to build it singlespeed and as light and cheap as possible.

My GT Karakoram is my winter hack. OK so it's full M735 with Atek rims....

But it's always been my winter hack so no problems as such.

Mine is made up of bits and bobs I had in my parts box. The frame is a Bike Works from Austria so it should be used to the cold weather.
