Can't remember what thread it's in but I recently read a post or two about chemicals in the garage damaging a bike in winter storage. Specifically pool chemicals and lawn fertilizer.

This interests me as my expected winter parking place is one foot from lawn fertilizer bags (open and half full) and within ten feet of chlorine tablets.

Is this a real thing?

Yes, some fertilizers have ammonia in them. You should never mix ammonia and chlorine. Both are corrosive.

I'd get some totes and but that crap in the totes and duct tape a seal on the tote lids.

And if your garage has a drier vented into it, you are in double jeopardy...

Just sayin'.

It's all old fertilizer anyway so I'll just pitch it and she'll sleep well all winter.

I had pool chlorine in my shed and my tools turned to rust. Didn't know what was causing it until one day I was talking to my cousin and told him about my rusty tools, the first thing he asked is do you have chlorine in your shed? As soon as I removed the chlorine the rust stopped.

.....the rust stopped.

Rust never sleeps.

Should also never store chlorine and brake fluid close to each other, mix together and you have fire.

Rust never sleeps.

You're right... it just slowed down.
