Default Bike Damage

Greetings Again Fellow Owners.

Got a rare issue with corrosive metal damage. I ride back and forth to work regularly down here in Southeast Texas. Woke up one morning to go for a ride and found some serious damage beginning to take shape.

After a few trips to shop and contacting insurance adjuster it turns out that it might be chlorine doing the damage.

Anyone have any insight or advice? Insurnace is Allstate and as of right now they are giving me a ton of trouble. Having to argue about damaged euipment. Looking for advice on key opponents that could be seriously weakened and be subject to stress breakage.

Thanks in Advance

Wig

I want to prepare myself for next visit with adjuster.
