This upcoming thursday here in MN we will finally get a break in the weather department and have a sunny 41F day, the first thing that popped into mind is taking the day off to spend it riding the SS to do the break in or most of it that day.
Everyone who i mention that to says that i am crazy given the ridiculously high level of salt on the roads and how that is certain to ruin the SS due to the very likely poor coating/sealing on the frame.
Is there any truth to this, should i hold off until most of the salt is rinsed away by the melting snow, normally i don't ride bikes until june after the streets have been washed/sweeped .
Anyone else here in MN/WI planning on riding thursday? , Not looking for a group ride just advise on whether is ok or is this an ill advised thought.
