Mountain bikes and water...?

[dread head]

MTB's are made for abuse. they are made to go down rocky trails and jump stuff. they are made to withstand a good amount of moisture. If the bike you have can't, than I suggest getting a different one. keep the hub greased well and water shouldn't ruin the hub.

If I were to ride a bike through a creek, would the bike be okay? I know it's bad to get water into the hub because of the ball bearings, but if the hub stayed dry, would the water hurt anything else, like the rims or something?
