After reading several bicycle forums, considering the many alternatives, I've settled on Frame Saver. I know that GP and other bike shops use Boeshield, but I'm convinced it is because Frame Saver is a mess to apply and clean up compared to Boeshield -- as I discovered yesterday. I think Frame

In your reading did you discover if applying framesaver to a frame that has already been boeshielded is a bad idea? No, I never saw that mentioned. As I understand it, Boeshield dries to a wax, so it probably shouldn't be a problem (I'm no chemist, to say the least). I would imagine the

It will last much longer than a couple of months on the inside of the frame under normal conditoins. The reapply statement is mostly for marine and outdoor applications in my opinion (2 degrees in Ocean / Corrosion Engineering if that matters). My first exposure to T-9 was in keeping outboard

2 degrees in Ocean / Corrosion Engineering if that matters Thanks, Rob. Good information. I was just sitting here wondering whether there isn't something better, that would never have to be re-applied, like some kind of primer or paint. We don't repaint the frame twice a year, so why should we

I do my frames twice a year, at the beginning and end of winter (in MN that works out to november and march usually). This seems like enough, even the frames that get salt and sand and whatnot from the MN snow removal hold up fine. On Mar 15, 12:29 pm, M9091666 tomnelsoncont...@gmail.com wrote:

When you do your frame, do you squirt it in all the holes, tape them up, turn the frame every which way to circulate the mess, or do you do something less intensive/obsessive? On Mar 16, 10:09 am, Joshua Kruck joshua.kr...@gmail.com wrote: I do my frames twice a year, at the beginning and end
