How to Store Golf Clubs, Bicycles & Sports Gear Safely

Triathlon bicycles blocking the hallway and golf bags dominating the guest bedroom closet are common friction points. Storing your gear off-site is a masterful solution, but equipment must be prepared with absolute precision to avoid rust, degradation, and material fatigue.

Preserving High-End Bicycles

Before a bike goes into storage for the winter, it requires a full detailing.

• ✓Completely degrease and clean the chain, frame, and gears to eradicate corrosive sweat and acidic mud.
• ✓Apply fresh, high-quality lubricant to all cables and the drivetrain to stop oxidation.
• ✓Crucially, store bikes suspended by the frame if possible, or heavily over-inflate the tires. Resting on flat tires for months causes permanent flat spots and casing deterioration.

Protecting Golf Clubs

Never, under any circumstances, place golf clubs into storage while wet from the course. Take a microfiber towel and dry the shaft and head of every single iron and wood. Ensure the actual fabric of the bag is bone-dry.

Use dedicated head covers to prevent violent scratches while moving the bag inside your small storage unit.
