I’m unsure how parallel it is, but many of the dirt roads here use magnesium chloride (or similar) for road adhesion, lower dust, etc. Of course this salt in the dirt road becomes salt mud when wet. Not a big deal when below a certain temperature, but above, it is sloppy stuff and it does adhere well. I only ride a minimal front fender to keep it out of my eyes, and when Mark replaced my Hunqapillar’s dropouts he said there was some superficial rust but nothing he wouldn’t expect after six years, and nothing even close to structural. How relevant is that? No idea, as I don’t know how corrosive magnesium chloride is compared with salts applied for snow melt (which doesn’t happen around here).
