Last year I used the bike in the winter time here in Norway. "Southern"
part, down to -15 °C. And they are fanatics about salting the roads. I did
use techtyl on what I considered to be exposed areas. After this summer
(some repairs were done to the bike), I can inform you that all (ALL) areas
are exposed. Loosen the bolts is sometimes difficult. When the wrong feel
is there about a screw or bolt; chemicals can be used, jiggeling (?) back
and forth, curses and prayers. Normally in that order. Absolutely final;
drill and refit with helicoils.... :-(
I'm gonna spend a lot of oil and techtyl on the bike this winter.
It will be easier with a hard clean up of the bike this coming spring.
Keep on driving carefully.
