I thought about adding a comment, but eventually got lazy. But you're right - I also always make a point of reminding people WD40 is not a good lubricant, so I should have added that, PSA and all.

So, for the record: in this case, I followed it up with an all-weather synthetic chain oil since the stuff I have on hand does have excellent corrosion protection and does in fact lube the bearings in my particular latch mechanism, while lasting.

Thanks for bringing that up.

I've seen too many bicycles destroyed by this over the years. People clean them off in the autumn , then wonder why the gears are rusted to hell in the spring.

I've some relatives who always did this to things, then complained about it. It made me a little... reactive to it.
