Betreff: (XRV) Salt (...) on roads
Hello Atics,
each winter I wonder if I will go out with my @, not because of
the low
temperatures, but mostly because I'm afraid of the perverse
effects of
the salt (wich most of the time is not salt but CaCl2, Calcium
Chloride)
on my bike. I presume there are members who are experiencing
this each
year. Could you please tell:
what kind of damage we may wait from usage on salted roads,
Mainly rust on unprotected parts, e.g. the footpegs.
Also you will experience rust on your exhaust and your chain.
Salt stains on the wheels (very hard to get rid of)
what kind of intervention you advice in order to protect our
treasure?
Lubricate your chain even more often (scottoiler would be nice)
Clean the whole bike every 2 days
Store it in dry place when not riding
Thanks in advance,
Keep freezing,
Eric
