No one told me... I have to say, maybe it's the TREK dealers that should be shamed. That's where I bought my first bike, and after I rode in the rain numerous times, I ended up bringing it to an independent, one man LBS, and HE told me about the BB and all that stuff. I was shocked- I had no idea it was bad on the BB to ride in the rain before I got the lecture.
