Title: garage dehumidifier.
Post by: tapps on March 27, 2022, 10:12:18 AM
i'm looking at moving in the near future to a property which has main's power in the garage where my 2 bike's will be parked, at the moment they are parked in an out building where condensation is a PROBLEM, which dehumidifier do you recommend.

It does depend on the volume size of your garage,

I had a powerful Domestic one in my garage when I had my classic bikes parked and it proved to be invaluable

I also use some of those Greenhouse type tubular heaters which laid on the floor beneath the bikes,( this is perfectly safe to do ) they ensured that no condensation was on my bikes

I reckon you should check Fleabay or Amazon as there are plenty to choose from and they don't have to be very expensive.....replacing rusty bike components is expensive ... even a pre-owned de-humidifier will do

They are expensive to run, be sure to connect it to a nearby lamppost to save yourself a few quid  :mfr_lol:

Why not just treat them with XCP or ACF50 instead?
