  • You're making me think about if my 853 one ever had any sprayed inside. I can't remember. Good thing it never goes outside now.

    Never?

    Just because there is a theory that indoor storage (as in, in a flat, as opposed to a shed/garage) of steel bicycles is pretty bad for them. The air inside the tubes heats up and expands and then contracts when you go out into the cold. The contraction sucks moist air in from the environment. That moisture then condenses on the walls of the tubes when you take it back in to the warmth and the heat is a catalyst for corrosion.

  • Interesting. It's on the turbo trainer and the front brake for stolen for my fixed bike so it's going nowhere fast. Hopefully it won't collapse one day.
