Went round my mates to help him sort his bike out. Now someone mentioned an odour, well I don't know
if this counts but when we were peeling the rubber of his tyres off his rims we both noticed a
almond/roasting apples kind of smell. It managed to destroy both tyres, but left the aluminum mesh
the tyres is built on. It also destroyed the inner tubes, brake blocks, cable sleeves, crud
catchers. The paint work on the forks and on the rear of the frame has peeled right off the frame
and has gone back to bare metal. The chain is clean as the grease and dirt has gone. He said he was
going to have get the bike dipped and resprayed. Luckly his rims were fine. Just curious as to what
would of happened if he didn't have his crud catcher fitted. Some of you have mentioned substances,
what would they have done to the skin? The police said it will take at least 2 weeks to test the
stuff they sampled, then they will let me know.
Thanks for listening to my ranting.
