It helps to coat it in a thin layer of mayonayse, it's more effective then clearcoat and it smells better too.

i actually cant tell if you guys are being serious or not what the best thing to coat it in.


also would it still rust even if i wiped it clean after every ride and kept it in my room?

Serious, mayo and vaseline are both good cause they're both carbon compounds.

Keeping it in your room would be good as long as it's not below ground level.

vaseline would still be good, just a thin layer is needed to repel moisture

yeah but when ever i touch my frame my hands will get all greasy wouldnt it be okay if i just wiped down my bike after every ride and made shure it was dry?

Just put clear coat on it instead of worrying about vaseline or wiping it down.

true cause then you get the smooth consitency of the mayo with the longer lasting protection of the vaseline.
rubbing down the frame will get tiring after a bit, if you use mayo+vaseline you only have to change it up about once a week.
