Xtracycle Radish water issue

Has anyone ever had a issue with their radish where the frame fills with water? how its getting in there I dont know. the poles always in and tight and theres a massive seat from the 30's on it covering all that and the bolts are in the holes.

Also there must be a lack of drain holes. I took part of the BB out and it was like a waterfall of water. one of the cups and part of the bearing is rusted solid to the bike. heating it and the like wont remove it and the cups teeth broke. so frames pretty much done. I think the rear of the bike will still remove though.


Yes I leave it out since its to big to fit in my shed most the time. but I leave other bikes aswell and they are fine.

If you have a radish I suggest removing the BB and greasing the threads.

This must be why this was Bottom bracket #3.

THis is proberly my fault for leaving it out in the rain though. but still it should have drained not filled the frame to the point it was like a waterfall when I removed the BB lol.

Has this happened to anyone else?
