Just got my first carbon bike and was wondering what you guys recommend for maintenance, especially as I live in a coastal region with lots of humidity and salt in the air. On my old Triban, the disk brakes collected rust after about 8 months… any tips appreciated!

The carbon frame is pretty much inert, salt will corrode the metal components.
Rinse it often with sweet water, dry it up well, store it indoors if you can, use a bike protect spray.
Have to clean the entire bike regularly with soap etc.
I have no idea, but your bike it is just freaking beautiful!
Gonna have to wash or at least rinse your bike down a lot. I’d probably do it after every ride near the sea if possible.
The metal parts obviously, since carbon doesn’t rust.
