DO NOT use any kind of blasting on aluminium.
It will leave a dull surface which you are going to struggle to remove.
I am a great believer of Plascon's "RemovAll" - use as per the instructions.
You can even apply it with your bare hands rather use a brush tough.
Yes it is worth doing !!!
BUT !! not if the bike shop does it for you.
Easy enough to do yourself. You do need to get links you can use a couple of times.
Certainly does not have to be monthly.
Most of the time I am in between (at least 80% of the time)
All the way up is for really steep uphill and all the way down is for serious downhill.
I also find that changing height on long flats help ease the muscles. (Just 1/2cm or so up or down)
I am ordering some pure/plain Maltodextrin powder for myself which I use as is so no additives.
It is the main ingredient for most energy powders.
The minimum I can get is 25kg which lasts me a looooong time.
So if you are interested in getting smaller quantities from me contact me.
I am thinking of about R170 for 5kg and R85 for 2kg.
Please note that if you have your frame blasted in any way and you are not quite happy with the results there is no way you can undo it. It is abrasive and usually leaves a dullish surface.
