Is it safe to use automotive salt and brine neutralizer on our bikes?
Is it safe to use automotive salt and brine neutralizer on our bikes?
And if it's safe, is it overkill? I really, really dislike road salt.

Since you.can access all areas of the bike for handwashing, I'm not sure a special anti brine product is needed. But label ahould say what materials to avoid use on

Also apply anticorrosive agent like ACF-50 or Boeshield T9 to components that should be protected.

I've coated the inside of my frame with an anti-corrosion product, but I'd like to mitigate any issues with the parts that get constant exposure to it.
I guess the challenge I'm having is I need to store my bike in my enclosed porch, which does get below freezing during the winter, so soaking it isn't a good option.
Last year, I wiped a different (still steel) bike down, and only had chain rust. In fairness, I was getting chain rust on another bike that never saw the winter, and was only in light rain maybe once or twice. Since then, I've been using chains with anti-rust built-in, and they look great.
