Have you ridden your cube 140 through a stream or downpour?

I'm looking at a 2020 140 TM but one of my frequent trails requires going through about a 12-18" stream, semi smooth bottom. I'm curious if you have done this, or even ridden in an extreme downpour or had yours on a rack during a big downpour. Was it ok afterward? Thanks

I faced this unexpected dilemma yesterday. My natural instinct was to just pedal through, but given the cost of these things, I reluctantly decided to get wet feet and carry the bike across. Next time I’ll take some bin liners for my shoes!

If that was me I'd be doing some trail mods to help me ride over it. How about a scaffolding plank? Or a few large flat-topped rocks? Or both?
Not even walkers could complain about that!

I’d be wading through the stream with bike on my back.
Just like an iPhone 4. One rain drop of water on my Bosch motor and I plunge the whole bike into a giant barrel of rice for a year and pray ??
