After riding in the rain with these, is there any specific maintenance that should be done? Should I
be putting a drop of oil or something around the spoke nipples to prevent rust/corrosion, etc.? If
it matters, I have the tubular version. Thanks!

keep some water out, but they also seem to keep any water that made it in there from getting out.The Elite version of the wheels have steel spokes. John Rees
