What should I clean/lube/check after riding in a downpour for two hours?

Hi all,

Due to the stormy weather here in Virginia if you want to ride you take the chance of getting really wet. Well, last night on our club ride we got soaked.

I have a steel frame and all Ultegra. Ksyrium wheels and hubs. Cane Creek headset.

I tell you this because I think that most of those items have sealed bearings and it was my understading that I wouldn't have to overhaul these parts and re lube them. What's the right answer?

We went through some deep water yesterday. 6-8 inches in some spots. We had no choice due to the torrential rain.

So, what should I look for after this type of event?

I have already emptied the water out of my rims.

Thanks for your help?

Sean
