my first post question about fx650 vigor rear wheel corrosion

[grampy]

Hi all I'm new and wonder if anyone has experienced corrosion problems with the fx650 rear wheel? My bikes rear wheel has been showing signs of corrosion for a few years now, I think that it started when I got chain lube onto the wheel rim. I noticed the other day that their is a small area where the corrosion looks quite deep. Will I need a new wheel, will one off another bike fit, is the last resort to have a wheel built by a shop? Any advice gratefully received. Cheers.

possibly dominator, SLR and FMX will fit or as you say rebuild

Can you post a picture of the corrosion?

Might help ascertain how bad the corrosion actually is...

That is a lot of money :S

The other option is to have a look around at wheel builders

Hagon do a service, of rebuilding, custom building, and modifying wheels...

I dare say other people may know of more builders...

I personally, would have a look for a second hand wheel...

I'll see if I can get a photo of the damage £400 not looking too good. I thought that I had heard that corrosion is a known problem with these bikes, is that not the case then?
