Just a note

My morning ride, yesterday, took me through some light rain. The KoolStop salmons on the back didn't even pretend to grab that wet rim. That is all.

So they don't work in rain and they are an ugly color. I have a set that came on a bike that were promptly removed for reason two alone.

Two questions come to mind.

Is the rear rim steel?

It actually rained in Tixkokob?
