Pushing on with the old SS 29er, spent a few mins freewheeling, come to put power down - spin !
Freehub frozen !
Puched home on the ups and flats.
Wheel off and left near the radiator - click as the freehub sprung back to life.

Anyone else experienced anything in this snow ?
Is the route of the issue a ****ed freehub ?

Qulaity ride in the snow though - until this 🙄

It's happened a couple of times to me in seriously cold weather....hate to spoil your push home, but peeing on it usually cures it instantly

Make sure your mates have got full bladders, otherwise you have to use Shanks's pony. Actually they usually pee themselves laughing at you to be of any use.... 😀
