Steel Bike Rust! Rainy Bike Commute Tip Of The Day!

I got rust on the inside of my bike seat tube. I need to remove it and grease it more often. I also need to be better about rinsing off salt and drying the frame after a wet ride. I live in a wet and humid climate and bike commute everyday.

I wish manufacturers applied frame saver during the build process because it is a hassle to strip down a complete bike just to do what the manufacturer should have done.

Now i need to clean off as much rust dust as possible to give the frame saver a smooth and clean surface to stick to before applying. Rust is particularly troubling in my case because i have a lightweight steel frameset with thin tube walls. I got to save my bike before its too late! 

Bonus Tip #1: You can stick a piece of old inner tube over your seatpost to act as a rubber boot and prevent rainwater from entering at the seat binder clamp.

Bonus Tip #2: Whenever you need to change a rusty bolt made of galvanized steel, get a stainless steel bolt instead - it will last a lot longer.
