I never really noticed this as a problem. Brush off the snow and keep them warm between laps.

I like to use a wine cork, the plastic kind, cut in half length wise. Super light. Fun.

I just got a pair of these and the leashes are pre mounted at the toe lever. Before I get destructive, is there an easy way to remove them?

Any day I can use a penetrating lube is a good day, indeed!
