Does anybody know at what sort of temperature bikes would start to get damaged if stored for a long time? I'm thinking things like grease breaking down, plastic or rubber parts melting or deforming, paint and stickers peeling off, issues with carbon fibre, etc. I've just moved to Dubai and going to be here for 3 years, temperature outside is currently over 40C (104F) and gets a fair bit hotter in high summer (~120F or 50C).
Can probably store 1-2 bikes in the house with air con, but between my wife and I we'll have about 6 bikes out here (plus the kids bikes), so some are going to have to be stored somewhere hot. Still choosing where to live but there's a reasonable chance we won't have a garage (or will need to use the garage for the cars) in which case I'm thinking my best storage option is to put up a small bike shed in the garden but that's going to get very hot.
