Seen it. Seemed like a good idea. I sent in a wheel from my '97 WG, but it had too much corrosion on the nipples.

But really, how does the process work? What do they do to it? And if they seal it off..then what happens if you get a loose spoke?

They claim spokes don't get loose after the process.

It is not a strip. It is a 2 or 3 part silicone from DuPont.
