New Bike Spoke Rust - Was I expecting too much?

[guerney]

Who uses zinc plated spokes? Sounds cheap.

Not a serious suggestion but... IIRC after removing the black paint using acetone, the OP could test for zinc by dipping the spoke into a solution of aluminum nitrate. There will be no aluminium deposited onto zinc visible.

Thanks for the feedback and information on this. I would do this myself but I'm currently still disabled due to my condition (that my bike is definitely helping me improve overall) so it would be quite a lot of work to redo the wheels. I could try to get a friend or partner to learn to do it but since the bike is so new and not heavily used, I'd like to see what wisper are going to do first.

Considering the age of the bike (few months old) and the positive noises already made by @Wisper Bikes 'Wide Grin', 'Thumbs Up!' n digits crossed.

Well no reply from Wisper yet which is strange. I emailed them back 4 days ago with my original receipt, then I emailed two nights ago asking for an update on a solution but no reply yet.
