One classic solution is to put a cork into the top of an open tubular seatpost. Not a good idea in all climates as that can foster condensation and cause moisture to linger inside the tube. However, a good bicycle will have a hole below the BB where water can run back out. ?? You think it will be drier in there without the cork? Speaking as a man who's seen more frames inside out than most, yes. Water always gets in. Unvented tubes corrode dramatically when moisture cannot naturally dissipate. Cap your seatpost if you wish but don't plug those drainholes! Condensation is a problem except maybe for those who hang they bike on a wall in the living room. A muggy day goes by and then a cold night follows, maybe a cold front that last several days. Then corrosion sets in. I guess for people cycling around Fort Zinderneuf that wouldn't be an issue. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
