I was out on a ride this weekend and broke a spoke. I took the rear
wheel to my LBS for repair and discovered that the rim sockets are all
rusty, similar to the link enclosed. The spoke did not fail, but rather
the nipple broke.
>From the outside, the wheels look good. Ambrosio Excellence rims with
32h Chorus Hubs. The eyelets are not rusty and I have not seen any
cracking of the rims.

Opinions as to whether I should rebuild the wheels with the existing
rims and new nipples or trash the rims are appreciated.
