The Boardman has carbon rims and Di2 so I don’t really want to take it out at 6 in the morning on my commute into work in the pi$$ing rain etc.

I’ve got 50’s and they don’t make a noise. Maybe I’m not going fast enough. 🤣🤣webboo said:The noise is a thrumming sound that deep section carbon rims make.

I just don’t want it to get damaged from all the salt and shite on the road, parking it in London cycle bays is going to get it nicked, other cyclists push locked up bikes to squeeze theirs in next to it. I’ve got a vibe that all the muck sloshing about on the road will erode the moving parts quicker.MattFalle said:

I normally carry a lead dresser (Google it) in my backpack but the problem is getting it out quick enough to smash someone in the face.MattFalle said:

i used to use the old mantra of "one winter mile is two summer miles" until I realised I could do exactly that in my house without trashing all my stuff, getting cold nd wet and not being able to watch tv

Maybe in truth your winter riding consists of riding up and down your hallway.
Extra benefit is you can impress yourself with the super-wooshy carbon rim noises.0 -
