Stop! That's not right.... I've been through PLENTY of old Land Rovers, where the aluminum is eaten away where it contacts the steel.... it is not a myth, it's real chemistry at work. Now, I will concede, it may not a big deal for bicycles; most of mine I keep in good enough shape, that I've not had any problems w/ such, but, the science is legit that galvanic corrosion between aluminum and steel does occur.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
