Water inside the rims
After riding in the rain I discovered water inside the rims! I have to take tire and tube off to get the water out.
Is it normal ?!?!?!

Yes. Take the tire off and dry it.

One of my wheelsets seems quite susceptible to this. I found that if I let the tyres down indoors the water would evaporate - a lot less hassle than actually removing the tyres and tubes.
