Default bike storage/pool chemicals

My Night Train will be stored inmy wood shed. We also have a pool, & the chemicals are stored in there as well. Sometimesduring hot weather when you walk into the shed you can smell the chemicals. Will the cholorine etc. effect the finish & metals on my bike?Should I findanother spot for my chemicals? - Thanks, you guys have been alot of help to my questions

My guess is find another spot for one or the other.

I would keep checking the PH on the bike (sorry could not help
it) If you keep the chemicals stored properly in closed containers there should not be any problem

I agree if you can smell it, it will get on the bike. And a lot of that stuff is very corrosive.

cholorine should have a oxizdier/corrsive label on the container which will attack alum real quick,if you can smell the chemicals you don't have them close tight.

If you cover your bike with a quality cover, I wouldn't think there'd be any problem. Otherwise, I'd remove the chemicals.

Chlorine fumes are very caustic to metal. My S&W N framed 357 cylinder froze up from just walking into the village water pump house to check water samples. It turned green.

Put the bike in the living room instead...
hey don't laugh, been there and done that...
or think about getting one of those plastic quicky little buildings about like a dog house to put chemicals in. I did that and put the chemicals right off the edge of the deck wayyyyy more convienent.
