Rim Brakes: If your bike has rim brakes wipe your rims down with a rag after every wet ride. "Floss" your brake pads with your rag to remove all the black grit. This will make your brakes work better & help your pads & rims last longer.
The Chain: Wipe your chain down after every wet ride. Shift into a gear that lets you turns the cranks backwards, hold a rag onto the chain from below & backpedal until all the grime is gone. Bonus Drivetrain Goodness: "Pinch" your derailleur pulleys clean with your rag while you're there.
