Now the negative part. I had serious corrosion in the rims to the extent I have replaced one original DuraAce rim with an Ultegra rim. The corrosion was so bad it corroded the valve hole, and I couldn't seal the tire. Shimano supposedly has improved the allow on the new rim. I haven't evaluated this yet. I also started using Bongrader sealant. So far it seals well, but I haven't evaluated the corrosion effect, if any, or how easy it is to clean. Stan's gummy residue it very hard to clean successfully from the rim.

So why do some people have issues and others do not?
