Wheel issue
So I derusted my rim with electrolysis which worked well. Most of the paint loosened and came off with wire wheel
So far so good. Cleaned it up and only after priming saw this pin prink hole. So what's the best way to fix it?

I don't see a pin hole but I see rust damage. Looks like it had a tube in it. I'd be looking for a better wheel and use that for a spare.

Agree, that’s a lot of rust around the valve hole. Finding another wheel is your best bet. Stu

Too bad you have so much time in it, but I agree, get another one.
