There is a distinct sloshing sound in the rear wheel. I'm running a Mavic Open Pro with DT spokes on a Dura Ace hub with an Ultegra cassette. Is it really possible water somehow leaked into the rim from the spoke nipples? Or something?
This reminds me of the time we filled my buddy's tubes with water. HaH , he was sooooo tired after our ride, and couldn't figure out why.
