Anyone know how the metal will hold up with salt? Living in Minnesota means 7-8 months of salty, snowy roads. Thanks!

it will hold up fine if u want to stay looking pretty go with stainless, but this will do its job just fine might develop some rust over the years. I have mbrp on my other truck for like 7 years now and I live in maine

I think salt water will eventually corrode any metal shovel; however, this shovel is so compact (ideal for metal detecting), very robust and sturdy. My guess is it will last years before it needs to be replaced. Besides perhaps your husband will find some treasure long before the shovel rusts out, and you both will be living on a tropical island in the Caribbean. Be sure to take the shove with you!

Not for sure but it's been left outside over weekend during winter and still no issues. Sorry couldn't help with the stainless steel question.

http://www.earthway.com/products/mobile-spreaders/2030pplus-estate-grade-65lb30kg-broadcast-spreaderThis Earthway site page shows use on ice. Not sure if salt may accelerate corrosion of some part etc. over time, so wash if possible. The Earthway site has a Q&N; page. Try them.

I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

Actually it's only been in a couple of rains but I don't see any rust yet. My thoughts are that bike baskets are pretty much rust resistant. BTW, I've had mine for a year or so (stored in unheated garage in winter too) and it's as shiny as new.

I've had it on for about 4 months now and it's definitely not as shiny as it was but it hasn't rusted yet. We will see what the winter salt does to it.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

I have never run across any stainless steel with one exception noted later that does not eventually rust in an ocean affected climate. We have a beach house on the Oregon coast and only the significantly thick (3/16th inches) deck post anchors show no sign of rust. Stainless deck screws, stainless joist holders, etc. all show signs of rust...The stainless table clips in question are used in Eugene, OR that is a wet climate but no ocean salt. I've have them outside since I purchased them and they show no sign of rust. I am sure beyond doubt that if I had them on the deck of my OR beach house they would show rust. The salt in ocean breezes seems to be able to dissolve anything in time. If you can find plastic spring clips they should do better over time but the springs will rust. Good luck...Frank

I had mine through a Missouri winter Lots of salt. The inside doesn't seen to rust and I've even sprayed mine out periodically with water. However the site where the hanger is welded on the outside will rust within a month or so. So try to have it done near the top or rear where you can't see it

I live in Colorado and I have had this on my car for over a year now and still looks new. Should hold up just fine winter.

Leafsout is very durable. Aluminum and stainless steel. Cold weather has not affected mine. I don't see where it would encourage ice damming.

Hi Ginie I purchased these product a while ago. I live in Miami, FL and as I showed in the pictures they are outside on the fence that divide my property. Except snow we got all type of weather here and honestly mine has not rust. I hope this can help you.

Have had mine on for a year and no rust yet, and has seen a lot of salt in that time. Luv the sound and not too loud for a 6 w K&N; cold air intake, blacked out and dual pipes look great, easy install and perfect fit for my Rubicon X too, I get compliments all the time

As good as any chain. When it comes to ice or black ice and freezing rain which is outside my area right now but thank God it's melting! Best thing for ice is stay off the roads. Nothing works very well in solid ice.

Dont worry about it if you live anywhere that gets snow and salt on the roads as it wont last through one winter!
