  • Condensation occurs when the temperature of a surface is less than the temperature of the surrounding air.
    This is why someone's glasses "steam up" when they walk into a warm house after being outside on a cold winters day.

    Leaving it in a dry shed won't cause any problems as such. What you'd need to avoid is bringing the bike into the house and then fitting the seatpost straight away. In that scenario, there will be condensation formed on the inside of the seat tube, which will then be trapped by the seat post. If you bring the frame in the night before you fit the seat post, everything will be at room temperature, and any condensation that did form shortly after you brought the frame inside will have dried up.

    You will be fine a steel is fairly hardy and will take more than a couple of days for anything that could prove troublesome to form.

    Anyhow, use this as an opportunity to dry out with a hairdryer, clean and Copperslip the whole caboodle.

    Can't see any problem. If it bothers you shove a cork in it, or put a bag over the end with a rubber bag round it.
    Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)
    Ribble Gran Fondo, Campagnolo Centaur (winter bike)
    Van Raam 'O' Pair
    Land Rover (really nasty weather :lol: )
