Anyone having some serious issues with corrosion and rotting on the new Speed Concept TT bars?
Over the weekend one the the washers for the tt bar slider broke off mid ride. Upon pulling everything apart most the the bolts on the TT risers on up are rusted through. The tower toppers have some serious pitting.
I do try and wash the bike 1-2x per month, always dry everything, lube, etc. I’m really disappointed in the cheap steel and aluminum that Trek chose here in a highly corrosive environment. Seems like a major safety issue.
This is first season on the bike as well.
