  • Commuting in temperatures below -10'c these days. The ride feels notably sluggish and I feel like I need to put in significantly more effort to keep the usual pace. I am wondering if the grease in my BB and ball bearings does not respond well to the cold. My commuter bike is a bog standard CX jobbie with Shimano 105 for all moving parts.

  • Greases definitely start to solidify at cold temperatures. It is hard to tell without knowing what grease has been used though in your situation.

    In our products at work we start using low temperature oils, greases and seals in products to be used below -30 deg c.
