my shiny new-ish Boardman Team Carbon managed a hardcore 3 hour ride in torrential driving rain (hideous!) at the end of the Kindrochit Quadrathlon on Saturday

All fine, but in cleaning it this evening, seems the frame has a good chunk of water sloshing about in it

Any ideas how to get it out without taking it apart?

evaporation?
upside down?
?

thanks!

Logically you would have to assume if there is a way in, there should be a way out. I remember once blow torches an old frame but you wouldn't want to do that on yours!!

Did you try turning it upside down, remove the seat post e.t.c any luck?

Everything ached, and the aches ached yesterday, so i didn't give it the full attention it deserved!
