Hi

This might be part of the cause of a load more than usual of us throwing bikes at the road.

These things happen
new things arnt very good at first.
difficult to fully test everything,,
you could ask barry sheen about testing tyres (if he were still with us)

Ive noticed less grip so Im riding accordingly in all conditions,

hhmm..the surface of a road by me was relaid last year or so, the number of accidents on it has risen and they're having to resurface it again

Our roads are shocking yet we must pay a fortune to use them.

I knew it, the roads have been slippy as hell this year. It's like there's been a layer of grease all over the road.

Yeah, a lot of people I know have mentioned this, they need to sort that shi* quick, there’s no excuse.
I can’t believe they need to save money using a different compound.
A bunch of twats the lot of them.

Well only 5% of the funds derrived from road tax actually go on the roads and unless some saving are made then they'll never get to that magic 4.9%

[bidman]

All the roads around here are covered in a white film, I thought this was just normal salt but there is absolubtly no grip round bends riding on the stuff. Dan

The use of mollases in de-icer compounds must be suspended immediately pending testing and investigation.

Huh? But don't you spell it molasses? It is a rather worrying trend if it hasn't been properly tested

I found these 2 articles:

https://rip.trb.org/browse/dproject.asp?n=8266

e to fiscal constraints, public safety, and environmental concerns, there exists a need to find a more cost effective alternative to straight sodium chloride salt for deicing roads. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) District 2 wants to evaluate sodium chloride that has been treated/premixed with 2 gallons of cane molasses and 6 gallons of magnesium chloride per ton. The molasses causes the salt to stick to the road and reduces scatter and the magnesium chloride lowers the effective temperature to 0 degrees F. This negates the purchase of new equipment and we will follow current snow and ice control policy. Claims are that this material saves 30 – 50% of material use, reduces cleanup time, and reduces corrosion of equipment and vehicles. The project will be conducted on portions of Route 206 (Bristol) and 213 (Sunapee) each participating route will have a test section and control section. It is anticipated that a procedural guide for this alternative deicer will be produced. The study period will last one year if an “average” winter is experienced.

Mechanically blended deicer

Delivered pre-mixed and ready for application, ClearLane treated salt eliminates the need for subsequent spray treatment by municipality consumers. Mechanically blended, the deicing salt includes cane molasses and magnesium chloride in a uniform blend for consistent results. Offered by Cargill Salt, the product is designed to stick to pavement upon application and is reported by the company to reduce corrosion and offer cost savings benefits in comparison to untreated rock salt.

Hi

Not much use having a cheaper to apply cure for ice when the stuff is about as slippery as ice. Talk about missing the point of deicing the roads .

All the best
