When Do You Apply Anti Corrosion Measures

[Chriss]

Hi,

As per title, just wondering when you start applying your anti corrosion measures to your bike?

Also, do you tend to do it once or keep applying through winter?

Just before they salt the roads, normally around mid October time.

I ACF50 it once then rinse it occasionally with the hose if it looks salty.

I hose daily in winter and spray with Scotoiler every day.

If you already have the ACF50 then use it, it is pretty good stuff. If you can't hose the salt off regularly then what I would do is wash it a bit more often and reapply the ACF50 to the exposed bits (more often i.e. once a month/2 months).

If you don't have a hose.

Why not just fill a watering can and use that?

I'm quite lucky in that I have a hose at work and the bike is parked just by it.

I hate biking in winter. After 7 years of doing it, i'm thinking of buying some heated gloves as I am getting old and strangely feeling the cold more.
