Spoke Material - Before I buy new Spokes.
Eldrick:
Should I replace the rims?
They look like this...
Johnny4428:
Looks like quite deep rusting around the spoke nipple holes. Not saying these are toast but if it was me I would buy a couple of new rims.

Definitely new rims if you are able. In the past I have suffered punctures from flakes of rust piercing the tube, and on one bike, the rust in one spot weakened the rim just enough for the spoke tension to pull the wheel out of true. The bonus of course, is a pair of new wheels with new spokes really looks the biz.
