I have a 2015 Fuji Tread 1.5 Disc Bike. Just bought it a few days ago used on craigslist and it's a nice bike for a beginner like myself.

I was finishing my 25+ mile bike ride yesterday and decided to take the pave trail on the way back home and I noticed it was flooded towards the end. I thought no biggie it was only flooded an inch or so and if I peddled slowly it shouldn't matter. Well inches turned into a foot or two pretty quickly and as soon as I realized what happened I picked the bike up and walked 10 steps or so. Chain was submerged under water for about 5-10 seconds. The water isn't exactly clean, there's a nearby river and I would assume the pave trail has sand and debris mixed with the water.

As soon as I got up the stairs, I was shaking the bike to remove any water and rode it for about another 10 minutes. I left it in my condo's heated garage (probably somewhere around 70 degrees or so) and today I tried to shake any excess water but there was none. I read on another thread about removing the seat and flipping the bike over. Well I did that and a little water came out. If I had to guess around 1/4 of a cup maybe less.

I left it upside down on my bike rack in the sun for a good 30 minutes or so and left it outside for in the normal position for another 30 minutes or so hoping to dry off any water.

Question is am I screwed? I have read other threads about removing the bottom bracket to remove any excess water but I am a novice and was wondering if this would be too a bit above my skill level? Is it ok to wash the bike with water and soap or should I ride the bike as is and not add any addition water to the bike and hope it drys off?

In the meantime I will buy a chain cleaner and possibly lube the chains.
