Besides the points already made previous to my post about the storage of the Denali, I wished to add that the cheap, polished, galvinized steel fittings used on the Denali will begin to dull or rust no matter where you may live.
Same for the chain - substandard cheap-o version of Shimano HG chain, which generally holds up a bit better to rough weather then the generic HG-7 replacement chains.
Take care,
