Guessing I must have water ingress into my rear brake cable as it's been frozen solid since the weekend...
Been at it both ends with GT85 with no luck :x
Any other ideas before I broach the idea of leaving it in the kitchen overnight to thaw with my mrs...?

hehe - simple when you think about it :oops:
was concerned about getting more in there only for it to freeze worse still - will give it a go, free it up then have a go with GT850 -

I would leave it in the kitchen with your mrs. Her body temperature will melt the ice without the need for pouring water over it. You will get a great nights sleep, and if you set the alarm in the kitcken at the right time, you will have a fully cooked breakfast waiting for you.
Then you get the benefit of a nice, body temperature bike for your commute.
