Yes the best way is to relace it with new spokes. But if your after restoring the spokes the easiest way to get rid of the rust would be to place the wheels in a bath of hot water mixed with oxalic acid. The acid comes in a powder. This will remove the rust. Then give the wheels a good clean afterwards. You can get the acid from eBay. Im sure there must be a thread on bathing rusty items in oxalic acid on here somewhere. Hope this helps stu
