Might try some alloy wheel cleaner but doubt it will work. I have read somewhere they could be stainless with a zinc coating and for some reason its a reaction so really the coating needs to come off.
Looks like this is an ongoing problem so looks like I have three choices now..
1. Change the spokes for real stainless steel ones.
2. Change the wheels for cast if that's possible. Anyone know for sure ?
3. Change the bike
Not happy about this as I really like the bike.
Just send them to https://www.central-wheel.co.uk/ to get them re-spoked with a material of your choice.
I recently had my rims made tubeless by BartFactory in Italy, they do replacement spokes or spokes and rims too. Mine were in good order so I didn't need them.
