RE: Cycling: Gotta keep it running!

in Cyclinglast year

Oxidation can be a problem indeed. I also live near the sea, but even worse are cold winters. Over here they sprinkle salt on the streets when it freezes to prevent slippery conditions.
This is really bad for your bike. I always spray off my bicycle with a hose after every ride so the salt comes off. After that I dry it a bit with an old cloth before Input my bike back in the garage.

Thanks fornsharing your tips!

Salt is evil! I can only imagine how car parts behave over the years. Next on my list is an ai compressor to quickly dry the bicycle after eashing it.
