How to stop rust when bikes are in the shed...

murphyebass · 2012-10-31 09:37:44

Hi guys, I have 2 bikes. A mountaing bike and a racer. The racer will get some use this winter probably once/twice a week if its not terrible terrible weather. The mountain bike however will not get used until probably until March/April when the weather gets sligtly warmer etc... So my problem is I have to keep the bikes…

If you have to put a wet bike in a shed then take it out for a short spin when the weather is dry again. This will help dry it out and more importantly expel the remaining water in the chain , gears etc.
