Morning all,
I have been thinking (as i do) about rust - some may call it patina but, really, i do not like it or what it can do.
Strangely, i do not know a lot about rust - it is oxidized iron or steel (i suppose) and it weakens metal. It spreads in the right conditions.
So my odd questions are -
1. Is rust completely preventable?
2. What is the best way to prevent it?
3. Do wet conditions make rust worse or are there other factors? I know that sea water corrodes but would steel left in distilled water corrode?
Any other rust related info is apprecaited.
Odd questions perhaps, but rust is a bike killer and i don't see much info on RB in relation to it. Answers may be for the greater good.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Richard
