I found a good amount of rust on my almost new chain today! Definitely less than 100 miles on it.
The chain was degreased/stripped of lube, then waxed with an 80/20 blend of paraffin to bees wax and I've been riding a few miles (15 tops) 3 times a week in the bitter cold Midwest. Once I rode when the streets were a slurry of melting snow, ice, salt and dirt/muck. Otherwise, mostly dry roads or when there's been a fresh thick powdering. I did not expect rust, but maybe I should have... So what do I do with my almost new rusty chain and should I worry about my bottom bracket or any other parts of the frame or any of it's components? Note, I like to keep my bike clean, use simple green finished with pedro's bike lust every 2 or 3 times I ride in these conditions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
