rust?

(1/4) > >>

rakas17:
the two places where my bikes are kept are the loft and the lean to.  both are freezing cold and everything in them is freezing cold and slightly wet. i'm guessing bikes will rust if the cold weather carries on.

is there a spray for this sort of thing or do i just use wd40?  i thought about an electric heater on low full time but i think it will cost too much.

 any advise????????    joe

bobafett:
I was looking into this for alltogether different reasons - protecting my polished nickel (after blood sweat and tears !) from oxidising and going dull again and i wondered about WD40, but then I read on another site that there may be some thoughts towards WD40 being hydroscopic (attracting water or aiding water transfer to the metal or some sh!t - google it !) anyways their suggestion was to use a very light clear cooking oil such as canola oil - rub it on and wipe off the excess.
Haven't tried it out yet but i'm deffinitely going to  :daumenhoch:

pickle:
vasoline.........smeer it all over the chrome parts and it'll keep the damp off (so i'm told)

Jamroll:
Hows about a nice hat and scarf  ;D

grease.

if youve ever taken a greasy part off a moriss minor, when every other bit is rusty as fook, and that isnt, 40 years later, it MUST work.

it would probably discolour stickers though.
