I've used clear Waxoyl which turned out to be more foamy than flowy, so I'm not sure it will have spread over all the insides of the tubes, despite my rotating the frame around, and making sure the frame and aerosol were both pretty warm.<br /> I anticipate this may get some overkill votes, or maybe futile votes, but wondered if anyone else has tried this another way or with another treatment.<br /> And if anyone needs some Waxoyl for the same reasons, just let me know. The bike shops seemed not too keen on this steel treatment question, but I found the Waxoyl (which is fairly nasty chemical gunge, admittedly) at Pentlands Auto. I'm hoping it does the job protecting all that bare cromo inside. </p>
