Rust is the enemy of the motorcyclist, especially if you ride all year round, whatever the weather. Once corrosion sets in it is extremely hard to get rid of and can make a once beautiful machine look decidedly second-hand in a remarkably short space of time. But help is at hand with a variety of rust prevention products. Rust-prevention sprays are a simple and effective way to ward off corrosion before it sets in. A quick application of rust-prevention spray (taking care to avoid getting it on the brake discs) should ensure that the metal parts stay rust-free, the plated areas resist corrosion and furring up and fasteners remain unseized. So which are the best rust-prevention products on the market? Here are our favourites.

What is rust?

Rust is iron oxide and is the result of the oxidation, or corrosion, of iron. To form, rust requires three ingredients – iron, oxygen (in the air) and moisture (water). Remove either the air or moisture and it can’t form, which is what rust-preventers attempt to do in the absence of paint or a protective finish. Salt makes rust worse as salt water is a better conductor of electricity so the electrolysis reaction that causes corrosion takes place much faster.

Should your feet be flat when sitting on a bike?

The height of your saddle is important for the most comfortable position and safe riding style. When you sit on the saddle, both feet should reach the floor and the balls of your feet should be touching the ground.

jerseysaferoads.com - Ch.3 Does Your Bike Fit You? - Jersey Safe Roads

Your bike needs to fit you. A bike that is too big or too small can be dangerous. It will be more difficult for you to control your bike, more likely you will wobble as well as it being more difficult to signal. Below is some advice to help you understand how to fit your bike, but the most important thing is that you should feel safe and comfortable. The height of your saddle is important for the most comfortable position and safe riding style. When you sit on the saddle, both feet should reach the floor and the balls of your feet should be touching the ground. If your feet are flat on the ground the saddle is too low and needs raising, and if your toes are just touching the ground right on your tip toes, either your bike is too big for you or the saddle is too high. The handle bars on your bike should ideally be in line with your saddle or slightly above the saddle. You should be able to comfortably reach the handlebars and your fingers should comfortably be able to cover and work the brakes. It is very important that your fingers can ‘cover’ the brake levers and you should ride with your fingers covering the levers at all times in case you need to stop suddenly.
