Is it safe to use automotive salt and brine neutralizer on our bikes? (lemmy.ca)

And if it's safe, is it overkill? I really, really dislike road salt.

Wipe down with rags, T9, clean rags…

So you're using T9 on the OUTSIDE of your frame? I thought it gets all sticky and causes grit to accumulate more.

I'm using the Muc-off anti-corrosion product, which they say you can use everywhere. But I don't know how I feel about that. I guess I should try. LOL

I use it externally yes but there is no stickiness or accumulation. Wipe off any excess.
