Bike frames in water-Will they be ok?

[TheFlyingDingo]

Allright...so i hate michigan basements and it flooded again

I had a few frames on the floor and they got water inside of them(in through the bottombracket and the holes in the wheelstay)
All that filled was the wheelstay, and i was wondering if i drained the water out the best i could, and let them sit for a while they would be ok..?

yea they will be ok when they dry
they might rust through n 50 years i guess lol
just dont set one outside when its below freezing with water in it it will actually freeze and split the tubing!

you could always spray with Water Displacement 40-WD40. Works to clear out the water and mildly protect the frame.

i would think they would be ok as long as you got all the water out and got them dry. if you wanted to go a step furthur, you could spray some of that frame treater or frame saver treatment inside your frame to protect from furthur exposure.

Just like others said, should be fine unless it freezes with water in it...
