Riding
in Water
Never ride into something that you can't see
the bottom of (from experience).
If there are not too many obstacles, you can
ride through the water as usual
Instead of cranking in a high gear, try
spinning in a low gear if the water is too deep.
If the water is real deep, try ratcheting
your pedals by doing quarter pedal strokes.
Brakes will be much less effective when wet,
so watch out.
Water can get into bearings and damage them.
So don't ride things that are too deep (anything higher than your bottom bracket is
considered deep by most people).
After riding through the water, pulse both
brakes a few times to scrub off the water. |
