I got a Milwaukee about two weeks ago and haven't yet done the Weigle framesaver. I got all antsy in my pantsy to get it on the road, and have been riding it a bunch in the dry weather. Fast forward to this weekend...
I was on the eastern shore of VA (bayside), rode a bunch, got caught in the rain once. When I was taking the seatpost out of the frame to put it in the car, water came out when I turned it over. Yikes!!! So now I realize there's water in it, and I need to know what to do next.
Currently, I've removed the BB, and dried out the shell. It's in a workstand in my de-humidified basement. The BB shell of the frame has no drainhole...I'm assuming this should be done soon. Also, what, if anything, can I do about the trace amounts of moisture that are most likely still in the frame? Just let it dry out over the next few days? I intend on getting some framesaver tomorrow at the LBS, but want to make sure I'm not jumping the gun on putting it in before it's mostly dry.
Thanks a bunch.
