I got a replacement back wheel from Decca for my T5 in January as the bearings and cone were worn. Several spokes have gone rusty. The bike is kept outside but undercover. The front wheel which is a year old is still in great condition. Should i be asking for another replacement wheel?

You can get rid of the rust with a bit of wire wool. once clean, give then a good spray of polish (auto silicone polish) this should help repel moisture while outside. You could also give them a coat of clear lacquer.

Thanks Ian. So I don't need to get a new set of wheels!!! Dammit! [br A spare set of wheels, for "best"/summer use is never a bad idea!! Wise words. My cycle scheme payments finish this month so I am starting a new one next month for clothing, lights, shoes etc. So that should free me up some cash to buy a nice set of wheels! If the old range of Tribans were available I would have bought one of them. I'm not loving this years batch
