    Hold on, that says to add drain holes, and then says to fill the frame with frame saver and plug the frame up...

    I never put frame saver in my steel bike when I got it, should probably do that this year.

    Somehow I'm betting that BikeRadar won't warranty your frame if you mess it up by doing this.

    My steps for preparing my bike for winter:
    1) Put nice bike on rack
    2) Ride old beater bike on trainer for next 4 months

    it's called keep riding and be mindful of keeping clean and lubed..... ride on baby!

    This.

    Much more benefit to what you do after a ride than what you do before the ride.
