So I wakeup to a properly wintery scene (not much snow but god it's cold) and smile. Then frown slightly as I look at the shed.
As the title suggests, I have recently gone tubeless and so I have wheel milk sloshing around in there. If it freezes, will it still work? (once it has defrosted, I guess it may be less effective when actually frozen).
If it is a problem is there anything I can do apart from bring the wheels indoors?
Am I worrying about nothing, does it freeze up when you are riding in these temperatures anyway or does the constant motion and energy going through the tyre help keep it from freezing.
Just wondered...

Bikes in shed + sub-zero temperatures + latex in wheels = problem?

OK, so JRA say their wheel milk contains "anti-freezing agents to improve performance in cold weather" but still. How cold is cold? If/when it does freeze do I swap it or just see what happens?

Never had winter probs, but in summer it seems to evaporate (usually find out when I rip the front tyre off on a bend!!)

Even in an unheated shed, it probably still a couple of degrees above the outside temp
