Rusty wheels!!
The rims and spokes on my street bob are rusting like crazy [:@]
Got the bike last July and its been kept in a garage, hardly ridden over the winter and always washed down after a ride.
Really feel this is unacceptable and before I visit the stealer (should be fun) on Wednesday, wondered if anyone else here has had the same problem and what was the outcome?

RE: Rusty wheels!!
The spokes are zinc plated. They will look like crap over time and are a PITA to keep looking nice. Usually the rust on the chrome rim on my bikes have been pretty easy to buff out with a spray cleaner followed by wax. I spray the whole underside of my bike down with WD-40 in the winter. It helps displace water/condensation in my unheated garage.

Still comes down to quality and I am amazed at how tolerant we all are of the use of cheap materials on our very expensive bikes.
