All of my road bikes are steel, so I try to avoid riding in the rain.It's been raining in Texas for two weeks with no sign of letting up. Any body take precautions use rain gear to get around?
I like "clean and lube" products like White Lightning or Rock 'n' Roll to recondition my chain after it's dried. Wheels are much easier to clean if you remove them first. A bucket of soapy water and a brush works well. Before you put the wheels back on, you can wipe brakes, especially the brake pads and other places that got muddy. I use a damp rag and an old toothbrush for that....questions: are they're any specail procautions or cleaning tips for my bike i wiped it down real well when i got here.
Surely that was said in jestPoolies concern about getting his bike 'soaked' is unfounded. Bicycles are designed for outdoor use. They are made of nonabsorbent materials that do not soak up water.
