What does rain do to your unicycle?

The oil keeps it from oxidizing, so it stays nice and shiny!(and
reactive, ready to make some sodium oxide through displacement instead)

It's a bit more explosion-like though.

Fresh water isn't that bad, but salt water might make it rust.

If it gets wet, just bring it inside (or in the garage) and let it dry.

Salt water will accelerate rust. If it got wet w/ salt water, I've
heard it's good to soak it in water a few minutes then let it dry. Do
not hose it off.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

But if you ruin the bearings, how can you fix it?




Rain is good. It washes the fish off before they can dissolve the
chrome.
