Interesting from both of you. Given it's only really taken hold on the rear shifter which sees more sweaty finger action (narf), filiform corrosion (which i had to look up) seems to fit the bill. In any case, the diagnosis of "Think of it as character rather than decay and keep riding" is spot on, thanks all for the input
