And if it’s safe, is it overkill? I really, really dislike road salt.

    I find T9 protects fine. My steel bike is sometimes white with crusted salt in winter but no real corrosion problems. Just stay away from it with detergent or other degreaser. Wipe down with rags, T9, clean rags…

      Exactly. T9 and ACF-50 tend to stick and protect exposed components for a while, possibly a full season or even longer, depending on abuse. I don’t recall ever having a bolt sprayed with ACF-50 rust. They might get discolored but that’s as bad as they’ve gotten.

      So you’re using T9 on the OUTSIDE of your frame? I thought it gets all sticky and causes grit to accumulate more.

      I’m using the Muc-off anti-corrosion product, which they say you can use everywhere. But I don’t know how I feel about that. I guess I should try. LOL
