Hi
Apologies if this is covered else where.
Got a new bike recently and had to cycle home through torrential rain. Anyway I also had to coast through a flooded street and this was at least upto the derailluer so drenched me and the bike. I got home cleaned the bike up a bit but noticed when spinning the back wheel what should have been the purring of a new groupset was replaced by well a gritty sound. Basically i think i have grit/dirt in the hub or something. How? Surely this shouldn't be possible. Was it loose do you think? Bike shop need to look at it or can I flush the grit with a hose?
Thanks
Matt
