Talk to me about these rails! Pics?
sorry a little late here.
they are simply from a dismantled Tubus Lowrider i had in the garage.

realistically, what can it hold while putting miles down on a gravel road?
-
All makes sense. Need to find my truing stand. I've moved so much past 5 years it could be in a number of places.

Threadlock/spoke freeze is a way to mask a problem, not a solution. Spokes come loose because either the tension is insufficient, or the rim is not stiff enough and wants more spokes or the hub flange doesn’t suit the rim… you should aim to solve the problem
thanks. this is the wheelset:
-
No and never had a need for one.
I'll run with your advice for now and just tension up the whole wheel a ~turn while in the stand.

My spokes keep loosening and i keep re-tensioning them. Never had this issue in decades of riding. I didn't build the wheels. Can i drop some threadlock into the nipples without much effort? other solutions short of rebuilding the wheel with actual spoke prep?

I was kidding honestly. Initially I wrote -10 because that's the reality and then I felt like I was being "that annoying guy" so I changed it in an act of self mockery.
That said, I'm a pretty cold tolerant person. I use simple leather gloves with a thermal liner such as Kincos or something when it's less than -10. Above that, I have an old pair of free Gore mid weight gloves.
If you're really cold, lobster mitts are the only way to go. Mittens would be better, but not suitable for a bike with gears and brakes.
More importantly, if your core is chilly your limbs will vasoconstrict and always be cold. Keep your core warm.

Just reading this thread makes me warm. It was -50c on my commute the other day.
Regarding chatter about snowfall, places in the states have had unfathomable snowfall. Alta is at almost 500 inches.
