Ok thanks for the replies. I have seen mention before about not storing in cold climates for extended periods but I'm not sure how true that is, as you both have pointed out. I did store my old bike (rockhopper pro with a RS Recon fork) in the garage all winter. While the fork works the lockout stopped working and I'd read it may be because of the cold storage. Just want to be sure I don't ruin my new fox fork! I'll probably keep it in the house for the bulk of winter and then won't worry about the mild cold temps in fall/spring.
