Rusting spokes
Hi All,
I have a cheap wheel, whose spokes are begining to rust. The hub, is below what I consider acceptable. Still, I would prefer to pay for a new wheel latter, rather that sooner. Therefore, any way I can stop/delay the rusting of the bloddy spokes - they're not chromed, stainless, nothing like that, just nasty. |

Probably try some reflective shock spray colors, for the fun of it, too! .and buy the replacement wheel *soon*, because spokes that are rusty may not last long. Yep... and I'll have the perfect excuse for the Mrs too :-) Thanks! |

sand coat with thinned linseed oil but the linseed attracts dirt maybe clear something-a clear latex!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh clear latex. linseed is essential wax for chips on a steel frame-axle ends+nuts-dropouts spokes flex and paint flakes! inn fact, an expoeriment to paint with dayglo marking paints(a negative) showed paint 'tileing' as on a dry lake or mud hole skim from the paint over chain stays that flex but much less than spokes off course |
