So for a dedicated rain bike use sealed bearings and full fenders. I use a Cannondale 3.0 ST600 for my rain/hauling stuff bike. The aluminum won't rust, and the cantis let me run 32s with fenders. Any other build tips? I notice the rims wear noticeably faster on this rig, but I'm using cheapo hybrid wheels from a dumpster Mongoose. Would hard anodized rims help?
