My first ride in the rain, and it was awesome!

[deeaimond]

Here the rain is usually a torrential tropical downpour and on certain places on the roads, water can be inches deep. So they do manage to seep in from the sides of the tyres.

It doesn't happen just to me but also my friends so I know it's not coz i'm weird hehhe...

Is this necessary?

Doesn't the tightness of the tube against the tire prevent water from entering inside?
