wash it, and im sure it needs a service as i havent done one since i owned it!

theres a list of things that need doing (mainly cosmetic) but they wont get done until spring when im back on the pushbike and its not getting used every day.

And a snow plough would be a cracker of an idea! its been mad riding in the last few weeks, but without doubt if your gonna ride on ice and snow, the XT is probably one of the better bikes to do it on! a few times the front and back have started to go and a quick dab with one of my legs trues it back up again!
