Rubber smell...!

[vickster]

OK, with 4 bikes now adorning my lounge, there is a strong smell of rubber in here, not entirely pleasant. Other than sticking them in the shed (until I get the Asgard sorted) or getting shares in Glade, how do the good peeps of CC cope with this phenomenon!?

@Fnaar ?

Move out to the shed?

 

[vickster]

Lol

S'funny you should mention that... Mrs Fnaar commented on the strong smell of rubber when I got back from helping Miss Goodbody up the road with her pneumatics. I was at a loss to explain the accompanying smell of cocoa-butter though. And goats cheese.

Presumably there is another person involved in this scenario: on my own I would think rubber smell = tyres I must fix that.
Now include another person and we are entering another zone "Four bikes in front of my house plants" would be close to the beginning "Four f***ing bikes Vick, in the f***ing lounge" somewhere near the end.

We have 6 bikes in our front room, never smelt rubber, WD40 i can always smell in there, but that is nicer than some air freshener.

I once helped someone move house. I was packing up the bedroom. Under the bed I removed a plastic bag and was enveloped in white powder. I looked in the bag: it had some rubber fetish gear, which covered in talc to keep it dry. I didn't feel clean for days.

Try removing one bike/set of wheels at a time? Of my 4 bikes I discovered only 1 was emitting a rubber smell from the cheap DSI tyres. It took a day or so for the fumes to fill the room.

I've only got 2 bikes in the living room. Need to draw a line somewhere

Are the rest in the dining room and kitchen though.

Keep them in the bedroom, along with the other rubber goods......

I like the smell of rubber.

I assume it's the new bike (which needs new tyres), will have to banish to shed for now!
