we have a winner!

so... it sounds like bike frames made of aluminum/magnesium will be the most affected by the galvanic process... and most aluminum(if not ALL) bicycle frames are an aluminum/magnesium alloy...

and the best choice for a "grease" in the CF paste would be... dilectric grease... commonly used to protect electrical connections from oxidation... sticky, similar to vaseline from petroleum oil, but a bit thicker...

the grease also makes an excellent medium for applying the grit, eh? kinda hard to get an easy, even, application without it!

cool article... thank you!

i bet that bridge was EXPEN.......SIVE!

and any bike running Di2 will be more rapidly effected by the corrosion... as will any bike with lights on it... grounded to the frame, or not... electron flow creates an electro-magnetic field, and that field extends past the conductors/insulation... that field will begin electron flow in the adjacent materials... and sweaty humans make good capacitors...... the salt in sweat will exacerbate things...

i wonder how the alloy steel Chrome Moly is effected by the CF contact.... hmmmmmmm....
pretty sure the higher chrome contents present would slow galv. corrosion way down... sure slows down rust, and that is a form of oxidation.... slow fire, actually... ever noticed how rusty steel is warmer to the touch? that may just be an effect of decreased conductivity of heat though....
