As a shop mechanic, you can usually tell when a bike spends large portions of its life on a trainer. If the patina of sweat doesn’t give it away first, the high probability of corroded bars under the tape will. For these exact reasons, Muc-Off has an all new Indoor Training Series of products for your “pain cave”.
Currently just two products, both seem like great additions to your cleaning/protecting arsenal. You can start that protection with Sweat Protect which is a spray to use before you start training. The spray includes anti-corrosion additives and inhibitors to protect all components of your bike including the frame and paint. While the spray is clear, it does include a UV tracer dye so you can see where it’s been applied with a UV light. Once applied, it’s said to offer 12 months of protection.
The other product is an Antibacterial Equipement Cleaner which is an all purpose cleaner for everything in your home gym. It’s safe to use on aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, and vinyl which makes it sound like a good option for cleaning your floor mats and trainers after intense Zwift sessions. Both will be available in October just in time for hours on the trainer.
To go along with their Dirt Invaders themed booth, Muc-Off has an entire new line of e-bike related products – though some will be useful for all bikes, not just e-bikes.
