Chainplate weep holes question

[Brion Toss]

Hi,
I'll just add that, when I recommend drilling a weep hole, it isn't to allow the chainplate to dry, it's so you can be convinced that there actually is water trapped inside, merrily corroding your chainplate. It's something to make you weep, cease living in denial, and do what it takes to put in new chainplates.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
