Will this wire rust?

Yes, even high carbon steel will rust in the right conditions. However, I have been using it in a cheese slicer, including dishwasher cleaning, and have not had any rust form.

Yes. It must certainly can. I have kept my application clean and dry and have had no issues. I will apply a light coat of oil if I need to store for any length of time in the garage or shed.

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.

Chrome doesn't rust or corrode. The core material is plastic so there should never be a rust problem.

Nope, bought this as a gift was so impressed that I got one for my self. Both working fine. No rust so far. Actually, I don't believe that stainless steel will rust.

I did. The item has a coating on it to prevent it from rusting. Wash well with soap and water, let dry and it should be fine.

I've never had any problems with rust on the supply tube.However, I had a leak on my first one where the supply tube connects to the hose reel. I wrote the company and they sent me a replacement connector.Other than that, I've never had any problems with either one of these 2 Hose Reels.

I have had mine for 2 years & leave it out through Chicago winters. No rust yet.

I would not leave it exposed to weather. It will eventually show corrosion.

My guess is that the wire covering will crack over time from UV exposure if left bare. Running it through conduit is a possible solution.

No, it does not rust because it is made of stainless steel. I bought it last summer and only used it 2 times, but it seems to work just fine. :)

The wire rack is powder coated and it's pretty durable. I've owned mine for almost 3 years and I don't have rust on it yet, but then again I keep my bikes indoors when im home. But to answer the question, no it will not rust easily, but it will rust eventually over time if you abuse it. I do use the rack alot and it has the strength to last and last.

I am using it outdoors. And no problem so far. The entire contain is hard plastic so it will not rust.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

It should not rust, however, be careful that you wipe off the padded seat so it doesn't soak up too much water.

Aluminum and plastic so it probably won't rust. But I haven't done this so I can't cite personal experience.
