Dominic Winsor 35 Posted Wednesday at 09:09 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:09 AM Well the good news is there’s no water anywhere it shouldn’t be! I opened up my case to check all the bolts and see how the case is holding up to the wet weather and muddy trails I’ve been riding. I’m pleased to report that the Sherman has done very well so far: No water in the battery cases Slight bearing rust on outer case All bolts were tight (I added loctite on reassembly anyway) I lost a screw from the metal frame (seriously - self tappping wood screws??? They don’t bite into anything! So I filled that hole with hot glue, screwed into that. Sealed the screw down and then taped over the screws with heavy duty gorilla tape). The stock grip tape was good, but not for long so I put some vicious brand grip tape there instead until I can get some spiked pedals. Such a machine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

routb3d 34 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Did you do any weather proofing of your Sherman? I'm in the Pacific North west and I ride my MSX in the rain all of the time. I just ordered a Sherman and I'm worried that it won't be waterproof enough if I get caught in a downpour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
