Seeing as it is OK weather I thought I would give the bike a quick wash over and reapply some acf50.

Having (what I thought) covered the bike back in October with acf50 I find the salt is chewing away at the rims and they have started to bobble under the paint work. I use wurth chain wax on the chain and thats rusting too, possibly because its not covered in oil if you were to use bog standard chain oil.

The bike was pristine when I got it last October and I can't believe how quickly the road salt gets into the metal work and starts corroding it :(
 
The galvanised bits eg sprocket etc I can deal with, the bubbling on the rim was the biggest PITA as its not like I can polish or scrub it off.
