A Cold Snap

Be careful out there as the temperatures drop and snow rolls in. Yesterday at work, I left my bike outside in the cold for a few hours and returned to find one of my custom made brackets had shrunk enough to become slightly loose. The front spokes were able to come up off the axle. Nevertheless, I am glad I was not riding the bike when this occurred. A valuable lesson in thermal effects.
