Just wondering if anyone else suffer with this.
After cleaning the stumpy, something led me to take out the seatpost and turn the bike upside down, this was then followed by a mini torrent of water spilling from the frame,
Im kinda not suprised as I havent been on a dry ride since september!
any good tips to make the frame more water tight

If i've got any of the frame tubes open to atmosphere, I whack a bit of gt85 in and then leave it somewhere nice an airy. I like to think this helps keep it dry, although I have no proof.
other than that, a section of old inner tube round the seatpost/tube join. which reminds me, I've lost mine and have to fit a new one.Rock Lobster 853, Trek 1200 and a very old, tired and loved Apollo Javelin.0 -
