Hi. I have a front rim with some corrosion starting but i think the rim is still ok. is there a way to stop the corrosion continuing, or is it in the bin?
Cheers,
shane

Re: WHEEL CORROSION
Some pics would help Shane, if your looking at corrosion from the outside take the tire off & it will be worse inside.

Re: WHEEL CORROSION
The corrosion is only on the inside. outside looks fine. It is the original rim off the bike. Is there a treatment that will stop any further rot? Would like to use the rim if possible.
cheers,

Re: WHEEL CORROSION
went to my local wrecker and had a dig around...... found a bloody good wheel hiding under some road wheels! even has the correct year 83 stamped in it. had a win!
