Dear RBWers, I have a Saluki (2007) which normally is fendered but not at the moment because of an overestimation of my mountainbiking skills and the selection of an inappropriate trail resulting in an uncomfortable encounter with a gorse bush (do you have them in the USA? I'm in Ireland) and a rock. This left about 20 splinters in my hand and my fender bust. Of course that day I was only going for a short spin and so had not bothered to bring tools with me (what could possibly go wrong within 5 miles of home?) and had to bash the fender with a stone to get it to stop rubbing the tyre so I could get home. Fender beyond repair.
Aaaanyway ... I went for a 4 hour spin in the pouring rain a couple of weeks ago in my now-unfendered Saluki. Solid downpour for four hours but great fun on the ride. Yesterday when I went to put the new fenders on I noticed a line of deposited rust coming from the tiny hole at the bottom of the seat stay where water had obviously flowed out during the wet ride. It seems that the inside of the frame may be rusty. What should I do?
