Since you're outdoors a lot, bikes are constantly exposed to moisture and air. And chemicals in rainwater, puddles, and salty air make your bike susceptible to rust.
A rusty bike not only looks bad, but it can also seriously harm your bike's performance. A rusty bike chain can slow you down, stop the bells from working, and the rust can corrode the spokes, which, if left unchecked, can reduce the structural integrity of your bike.
Did you know that it is possible to remove rust from a bicycle by applying the multi-purpose product WD-40? The smart straw helps you get right into the chain and gives you access to the small ball bearings. Regular spray can be used on larger areas such as the wheel and frame. Just spray, leave on for about ten minutes and wipe off with a cloth. WD-40 is also great for temporary rust protection, so any areas sprayed will help prevent further corrosion.
Now that you know how to remove rust from a bike, it's time to take a look at the WD-40 line. The range has everything you need to clean, lubricate and protect your bike and keep it in tip-top shape.
