Does anyone have a cure for a bike sweating up.
I keep my bikes in a barn with plenty of fresh air going throu, I never cover it up, and it still seems to sweat.
Can you help please.

Light spray of WD-40 over it?
If not i'd just keep a decent chamois handy!

The bike is a special, gixer 1100 full race tuned in a 750 frame very light, it has been cut down to 130kg, bloody fast nice to ride with a spare set of pants 
The Barn might be a bit damp, but never a problem with the hay

Alot of the higher price bike covers claim to be breathable/sweat reducing. It seems like its worth the money with a nice bike if it works.
Claims to be resistent to condensation, but then again can just make the problem worse in reality.
Maybe a special indoor cover would do the job better?

Claims are all there, not sure how good they are.

Sweat Its condesation for gods sake.
You wont get rid, the breathable covers will help, but nothing will get rid of the cold air forming water droplets on the cold steel unless its kept inside the house with central heating.

Does nt a litre engine weigh in at around 80kg, wheels, forks and a full tank of gas will surely weigh the same if not more.
130kg seems a little low in my very unexperienced mind.

If you've got power in the barn then you could get a dehumidifier as that will help the condensation - although if the barn is too open, it won't be as effective as there'll be more moisture brought in from outside...

Cover it in an old towel. There's no way moisture will get under that.

MarJay, What about carbon fibre wheels, this that and the next thing?
(Is there a possibility he's mixed up weight with BHP?)
