rusty spokes!!

[Almedin C]

I noticed that my spokes on my Sportclassic are rusting! Anyone else see this? Are there any aftermarket spoked wheels for Ducatis?

Try one of those green scotchbrite pads to clean them up.

Thanx ENZOSO, I just hate to have to take the wheels off to keep cleaning up the spokes as the rotors are in the way.

After they clean up, you could pseudo seal them with a wax of your choosing. Building older spoked bikes, I run into the same problem. I think that there is a product called "luster lace". A DIY way would be double wrapping an old shoelace around each spoke then polishing/cleaning/waxing/sealing by pulling on either end of the shoelace.
