Water in wheels - help

Dawn Cass

Hello! After my last race, my bike was on the back of the car for the 6 hr journey home in pouring rain.

Now my carbon wheels have a lot of water in them! Any suggestions on how to get it out?

Am guessing to deflate the tire but any other easy suggestions let me know!

Dawn Do you mean in the hubs or rims? If it is the rim you can just take the tubes off and wipe the rims down or easier they will just dry out or spit the water out when you inflate. If it is the hubs you got to take break them down and regrease. Which you might consider doing anyway if they were in  the rain for the whole time.
