corrosion around spoke nipples?
I have recently found a white crusty deposit around where the spoke nipples attach to the rim on my Mavic Ksyrium SLs.
I had been thinking that it was just residue from water left over from rides and washings that was caught in the threads. But I have now begun to suspect that there is water inside the rim in the channel containing the nipples which is separated from the channel holding the tire and tube.
Just wondering if anyone has an explanation/solution for this and is it anything I should be worried about.
Proof I have too much time on my hands: How many club members received incentive points for leading rides, etc.
The answer: 381.
Pretty good for a club membership around, I think, 2100.
As for my having bestirred myself to count all the names, this comes from the same skewed mindset that counted all the stairs on the north side of the GWB. (That was years ago. I don't recall the count but I think it was around 165. Or 156.)
Monday Morning C Ride in Central Park: Cancelled for Tomorrow
In view of the projected temperature of 26F and the residual snow and ice on the streets, I am cancelling the ride for tomorrow.
