Clunk from head tube when braking
I got caught in a downpour on my Trek 1500 and a few days later I took the bike for a short ride. When braking I hear (and feel) a slight clunk coming from the head tube area. If I get off the bike, lock up the front brake and lean on the handle bars it clunks and then clunks when I let off. Not sure if it is related to the rain or not.
Any ideas?

Yup, common symptoms of a common problem - a loose headset. It's a fairly simple procedure to correct, see: https://www.parktool.com/repair/byreg...mageField2.y=8
I doubt it was caused by the rain.
