MechaMorgan-
I replaced the rear mech on my winter bike a couple of years ago. Within a couple of weeks of commuting, the mech arm was black and pitted.
For the sake of 10 mins hosing the bike down and wiping it dry, I'd rather do it than not.

it won't rust!
Famous last word.
I concur, best to wash as soon as possible after you've been riding on gritters.

It's been dry up here in Norfolk all day so I took the Evo out for its first spin of the year tonight. Beaming from ear to ear; what a joy to ride: especially after spending the last 5 months on the winter biek.
So stiffness, much responsive.
Fucking gritters were out about 15 miles from home though, so washed and dried the bike off as soon as I got in.
