Boeshield T-9 for titanium frame
Anybody have any experience with this? The LBS recommended it for use
on the Moots frame I ordered. Moots seems to recommend lemon-fresh Pledge ;-) TIA, Neil |

Titanium's only real advantage over any other bicycle material is its
corrosion resistance. I'd go with the Lemon-Fresh Pledge. "Neil Brooks" wrote in message ... Anybody have any experience with this? The LBS recommended it for use on the Moots frame I ordered. Moots seems to recommend lemon-fresh Pledge ;-) TIA, Neil |

Moots seems to recommend lemon-fresh Pledge ;-) One of the benefits of a Ti frame, to my way of thinking, is release from any obligation to rub ointments on your bike's finish. However, if you want an expensive, high-status ointment to massage your expensive, high-status bike frame with, then Renaissance Wax is likely the best concoction for the job. http://www.restorationproduct.com/renwaxinfo.html It's an excellent wax that is typically used for fine art and collectibles. My impression is that Pledge is less likely to attract dust than Boeshield is, FWIW. Chalo Colina |

I think your LBS is suggesting T-9 for the inside, which would seem to
have a dubious effect for ti. The Lemon Scent Pledge is what Moots thinks is the best for outside. If you ride enough though, the dust won't accumulate. Phil B |

Titanium frames don't rust away; that's why they are not painted. They are just trying to sell you stuff you don't need. As far as polishing the outside goes, my shop rags are usually oily enough to take care of that. Unless you got a polished finish, you shouldn't need to do anything more than brush off the mud. Personally, I think a brushed finish is the best; no maintenance and it looks good. -- David L.

Moots seems to recommend lemon-fresh Pledge ;-) TIA, Neil Boeshield is meant for protection of aluminum surfaces since alloys like 2024 (copper based aerospace aluminum) corrode rapidly when it gets wet. Since typical aerospace alloys are not typically welded, the alloys used in bike frames like 6061 do not need any protection on the inside unless there is direrct connection to steel or titanium. Titanium does not need any protection unless you have aluminum in direct contact and then its the aluminum you have to worry about. -- Weisse Luft |
