While swapping tires on spoked wheels, we always find varying levels of internal corrosion. Once corrosion starts, it begins a never-ending cycle that, if not treated, will develop into rust. Stopping rust as soon as possible after it occurs is critical to the integrity of the wheel. Rust on and around spoke nipples will eventually lead to wheel failure.
Rust is not always preventable. The type and quality of the materials used during assembly play a large role in corrosion resistance; however, all wheels (not just spoked) require proper, routine maintenance to mitigate the effects of corrosion on a wheel's integrity.
We ensure every wheel is cleaned of corrosion and every spoke is physically checked for tightness, every nipple torqued, and the wheel trued, if required.
