However, I've ridden one of my steel framed bikes for 40 years and there is not external or internal rust.
I do treat our touring and around-town steel bikes. as noted above, it is easy to do and for $15 there is a certain peace of mind. If you do it, do the complete job. Of course, for you UL folks it may add 0.5 oz.
