Anticorrosion for frames
Hi all
What do you use as anti corrosion coat for internals of frames? Any advice? |
if available/
|
Are car products for same will work fine? Some of them have wax in them they good or try to find without wax?
|
Good quality car cavity wax should also work fine, brands like Teroson for example.
|
Saltwater has always worked for me. ;)
|
Linseed oil mixed with mineral spirits inside the frame tubes.

Been using Boeshield T9 with good result.

Fish oil.
To be honest, any anti-corrosion product is better than nothing. |

I'm going to get flak for this...
Has anyone actually had a frame fail from internal corrosion? I think the concern may be overblown.
Yes, I've seen some bikes rust through. From things stuck down the seat tube to make it collect water. And there was one honestly-rusted-through frame in a thread a few months back, in southeast Asia, I think. Looked like it had lived a very hard life, perhaps always outdoors or laid on the floor of a leaky shed. But your average frame, well cared-for? I doubt it's a concern. |
