Water defeats most all attempts at sealing given time and exposure. I've seen a lot of car rack induced (at 65mph) internal water in repairs where the customer had no idea about what they were subjecting their bike to, till... Once in the frame those seals tend to not let the water leave or evaporate quicker than rust can develop. One more reason why internal cable routing is a poor idea. Andy
