    Hi everyone,

    I love my new T120 Bonneville but I am very disappointed with the rust on my spokes, in fact, the chrome didn't even try to peel off, the rust took over. Has anyone experienced this with their new Triumph?

    The spokes on my 2010 T100 were slightly corroded when I bought her, so I cleaned them up with a Brillo pad. The rust never came back.

    There has been a number of posts regarding poor chrome plating particularly on the spoked wheels.
    Some of the owners have had their wheels replaced FOC

    Look up some of the posts relating to poor finish etc.
    Several forum members have reported this problem.
    First port of call is your dealership, Triumph are fully aware of the problem.

    Welcome Paul. Go back to your dealer and ask for warranty replacement.
