I am completing my first full build and I need some help on finishing my wheels. I have removed and cleaned all spokes and nipples and they look good. Hubs are not bad, Rims are not great, they have a little rust but I have already spent too much on this bike so trying keep any more spending to a minimum. I talked to a wheel builder about getting the wheels trued. He confirmed my fear that I had removed the zinc from my steel spokes and that they will rust. So what to do?
I can buy new spokes and nipples, rims too if I want but I will spending hundreds. Has anyone had spokes zinc plated, anodised or just painted them? I guess paint would be cheapest & if I use a good paint, it should last.
Anyone with any experience of painting spokes? I have never had anything zinc coated or anodised, is it worth it? Is it expensive?
