Have a 3T Ergonova alloy bar on my road bike. Probably had it for 3-4 years. 95% of the time the bike is on the trainer. Use it 2-3 times a week. About once every 7-8 months I'd feel these hard spots in certain areas under the bar tape. Pulled the tape off and found these large salt deposits, under the tape, from my sweat. Would clean the salt out and re-wrap the bar.
Had the hard spots again and removed the tape. In two spots, front and rear of the bar, the sweat has corroded through the bar and there is a bunch of corrosion around the areas.
The white stuff is the hardened salt under the bar.
