I'm always interested in rust prohibitors. We've all seen 30 plus year old bikes with tubes that look brand new. We've also all seen or heard of the mechanic who comes across a frame with the bottom bracket has crumbled into dust. I switched from frame saver to fluid film after reading the MTBR thread and never looked back. I've definitely been in wet riding conditions (riding through tire height standing water and heavy rain) as well as corrosive winter riding. The main thing is I do attempt to avoid frequent extreme temperature changes when possible.
The thing I appreciate about fluid film is it's food industry grade and relatively non-toxic. Aside from smelling like goats and a bit gooey mess for the first while. The worst damage is going to happen where water pools (ie bottom bracket or bottom of stays) I don't find those area's difficult to make sure they get adequately coated. I've yet to see a frame rust out in the middle or top of a tube. On Monday, October 17, 2022 at 6:13:06 PM UTC-7 Evan E. wrote: > Hi Nick, > > Yep!
