Hello everybody,
I have a nice Bianchi road bike with fancy (well, now they are more
standard than fancy) rims. These rims have an aero-shaped profile which
extends around the spokes and the valve for about 2-3 cm. When I ride for
a while in wet conditions, I end up with water in this hollow "aero"
cavity, and this water cascades in the rim when the wheel turns. It makes
a gurgling noise, and also to some extent wastes my precious power. The
real trouble is I can't really get this water out unless I fully dismount
the tire !
Any similar experience, advice ?
