    Default Race Slick Question for Winter

    Do you guys cover your slicks, or just keep them out of direct sunlight for winter???



    Thanks,
    Barry

    I bring them in the house and keep in my basement. It's heated. You want to keep them out of the cold, I have seen them crack from extreme temps.

    Keep slicks indoors.

    And if the bike is still attatched to them..,oh well.

    That makes complete sense, but nope...just wipe off the tires and roll em inside.

    None of the bikes inside (5) smell, or leak anything.
