Hi everyone! hopefully were all enjoying riding this fall. It's my favourite time of year. Not to hot, not to cold, and full of beautiful colours
This has happened with two different bikes.......
I've been out riding in heavy rain a few times this month and I've noticed after about 30-40 min I can feel a type of "grinding" sensation in the pedals on the downward stroke. I'm wondering if what I'm feeling is the chain slipping? Or is water getting into the crank and messing with the bearings? I was assuming the crank would be weather resistant if not waterproofed?. Other than oiling the chain more often than usual, I don't do anything else to the bike. I'm starting to wonder if there is something extra maintenance wise I need to be doing if I'm taking the bikes out in heavy rain? does riding In the rain wreck your bike?....gulp....
