XT600E Rear rim repair
Hey guys!
Yesterday I went to replace the tube on my rear tire and I was amazed at the amount of rust there was inside the rim! I used a steel brush and toke most of the worst rust out.. So I'd thought! Right now I just got home from a little ride and the tire is flat AGAIN! WTF!! Has anyone ever repaired the rust from the inside of the rear rim? How should I do it? 1- Wire brush with the drill everything to take all the rust out and put some Teflon grease? 2- Wire brush with the drill everything to take all the rust out and put some anti-rust paint? More options? Vando

I take all the rust out with steel brush like you... I then use some sand paper to get it smooth again..
You should get a roll of electrical tape and cover all the spoke nipples with this and forget the crappy rubber strip. Gaffer tape should work too.
