Something not yet asked is whether the OP has a pool.


Just to put a possibility into the mix, pool chlorine stored in a garage (even in a supposed "sealed" container) is a big no-no and usually leads to rusting of things stored anywhere else in the garage.


Just a thought.

If it's just the leading edge, I'd say not something stored in the garage, but likely something he has ridden through.
