The best winter tips
Biking in winter is polarising. Some think it's great even when it's muddy and cold, others only go out in fresh snow and sunshine. Here are tips on how to equip yourself for a cold MTB tour.
Bike wash + care

 Even more important in winter than in summer. Road salt is aggressive to the material, so you should wash off your piece of jewellery immediately after the tour. This also applies to transport on the roof or rear rack! To lubricate the chain in winter, use low-viscosity oil and no wax!

Cool down your bike - Crosser tip:
Put your bike outside a while before the tour so that it gets closer to the outside temperature. This way, splash water and snow will not freeze to the material immediately!
