Chain rust

The winter is here, and with it, rust!

Im not using the bike much, maybe once or twice every 2 weeks, and its kept outside. The chain in lubed nicly but still seems to rust alittle on the plates, not the rollers.

Anything I can do to stop this? Its only surface rust, but Id rather not have it.

Cheers

Clean the chain a rub some ACF-50 on the plates with a cloth.

Or just ride the bike a bit more

I feel i must elaborate on Daves comment.

ONLY rub the chain plates in ACF. Dont let the ACF get into the rollers at all. If in doubt read the can :P Dont spray onto any friction related parts.

I have a similar problem, the inside plates are rusting on my chain, as the lube i spray on only ever gets onto the outside parts and not the inner facing parts.

If its just the plates don't worry about it. Its just surface rust and will do no damage. Rust can form in a matter of hours.

If your leaving a period of time then cover the whole chain in engine oil, then just give it a wipe down before riding next.

cheers for the tips guys.

I know the rust isnt really a problem as such, just dosent look too hot!
