The age-old battle against the scourge of corrosion! How many innocent chainstays and seatstays have fallen victim to the ravages of humidity and salt exposure? It's a tragedy, really.
But fear not, dear riders, for I shall impart upon you the ancient wisdom of the unconventional corrosion warriors. Behold, the mighty power of... (dramatic pause) ...silica gel packets! Yes, those humble desiccants can be repurposed to absorb moisture and keep your stays dry. Simply place them near the affected areas and watch as the corrosion demons flee in terror.
And for those who dare to venture further into the realm of DIY, I present to you... (dramatic flourish) ...the vinegar and water solution! Mix equal parts of each, apply to the affected areas, and let the acid magic work its wonders. But be warned, mortal riders, for this potion is not for the faint of heart.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But what about the commercial products?" Ah, those soulless, overpriced concoctions? Bah! Who needs them when you have the power of household ingenuity on your side?
