4. I just got back from a morning ride cloudy,74 degrees and windy

Half the ride was directly into the wind at 9MPH and gusting to 21. That makes for hard pedaling but part of my route has the wind to the side and the gusts can sure make the bike unstable.

I recently got a small bottle of Boeshield T-9 corrosion protectant. Riding in the rain and mist I had some surface rust in the hex sockets of the stem bolts, especially the front facing bolts. As the bike is only 5 moths old I would hate for this to get out of hand. I will post the results of this treatment whether it works or not.

Maybe it's as good as the hype since it was developed Boeing. I don't know where but I want to say Everwet, (that's what we called it at GTE, back in the day)
