Does anyone ride whilst the roads are salty and icy?
I havent moved mine for a month. As last year the salt destroyed my spoked wheels?
If so what is the best way to protect and clean ?
Destroyed to the extent you replaced the wheels? Don't suppose you've still got the hubs and want to sell them?
I still look after both bikes, after a deep clean, i use acf50 on electrical stuff but also use quick silver marine corrosion protector £15 a tin but a tin will do two bikes. I spray it on in some areas, but around the brakes spray it in the cap and use a small brush. It drys out and make the brake calipers look better than normal because they shine. I used to use this on boats that were in salt water and works very well. Its a once a winter event to apply this.
In the summer i use GT85 after a wash down, no corrosion.
Just found this. ACF 50 gets from aerospace to the navy so its clearly good stuff, but the aerosol shelf life is only 2 years. Quart bottles probably wont last that long.
