It's mid-December here in New Hampshire, which means my Tufo tubular-clad road bike probably won't leave the garage until sometime in April. The only thing I'll be out on is my CX bike, which runs much cheaper clinchers! It has been getting very cold - overnight lows in the single digits Farenheit. Should I take the Tufos (actually the road wheels since I have NO interest in removing the tires!) and my spare tubies inside the house for the winter? I'm worried about how months of extremely cold weather might affect them, especially if they're not being used at all.
Thoughts/experiences on how cold weather affects stored tubulars?

I think that you have anwered your question. I use the same Tufos and keep my bike in the garage but it does not get much below the middle 40s in there.
