All those moving parts suffer from being exposed to salty, wet roads. If left uncared for, the salt will begin to corrode and rust your nice bike. It\u2019s surprising how quickly a chain can turn orange in winter. A good old-fashioned bucket of soap and water will do the job too, but there are plenty of bike-specific cleaning products on the market to help you a lot better. A degreaser and chain bath will make short work of mucky components.

Winter-specific tyres will typically be a little heavier and have a higher rolling resistance than tyres more typically used for summer riding but in return, they\u2019re likely to be more durable and offer increased puncture resistance. Preferred tyre width depends on conditions. Narrow tyres carve into soft, new snow and rest on the surface underneath. Wider tyres ride on top of packed snow and are less likely to be diverted by an uneven surface.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-143627 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/75a3f283702f8f01f234aa20490a711d.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/75a3f283702f8f01f234aa20490a711d.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/75a3f283702f8f01f234aa20490a711d.webp 564w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/75a3f283702f8f01f234aa20490a711d-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/75a3f283702f8f01f234aa20490a711d-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/ab5e89e85ab26ebac2af61fc4a1540e7.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/ab5e89e85ab26ebac2af61fc4a1540e7.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/ab5e89e85ab26ebac2af61fc4a1540e7.webp 564w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/ab5e89e85ab26ebac2af61fc4a1540e7-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/11\/ab5e89e85ab26ebac2af61fc4a1540e7-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2><strong>Add mudguards<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Love them or hate them, mudguards are a winter riding essential.
