took the tyre off my rear wheel to send wheel to bike shop to get trued...when the tyre came off it was a little wet inside the rim then under the rim tape was loads of water.. it must be coming in through the spoke holes (which are eyeleted)
Now i like to wash my bike and thats prob not helped matters but what about riding through big puddles etc, im gonna end up with loads of muddy wetness in there and seized nipples!
is this just tough luck or any poss solution?
wheels are ritchey wcs series (disc)

If it can come in, it must be able to get out again. Unless you've forced water in whilst jetwashing the bike?
