my coaster appears to have a large gap (takes about half a crank to engage both the brake and drive) when I leave it outside locked up in the cold for a couple of hours or so. after about 30 secs of riding it reverts to it's usual small gap. this does not happen in the morning after it have been inside for the night. am I being insane, or is it possible that temperatures affect the workings inside the hub, even though Sheldon says they are unaffected by weather? perhaps in the cold, the grease inside the hub has a lower viscosity so the internals do not move as they should?
