As far as i knew the section on a deep V is like an A shape, so the water isnt under the tyre. Please correct me if im wrong. Im only worried bout corrosion.

The spokes are stainless, the nipples are brass and the rims is coated aluminium.
The only part likely to corrode in a wet wheel, is eyelets. But a Deep V doesnt have any!
Unlike this Mavic Ma2 I recently re-furbed.

Thats what I was worried about, but if its not a problem, all is well. Ta.
Just got some deep Vs and recently got caught in a proper downpour, got home, dried the bike off, then pushing the bike i could hear running water. Basically the area inside the V had filled with water. I looked on my other bike that has shimano wheels and they have drilled it to let the water out. What i want to know is; has anyone seen the section of a deep V and can you tell me how deep from the tyre side of the rim should i drill? Both front and rear are machined (not that that changes anything). If I dont drill it and just let it dry over time, would that cause problems with the aluminium rim and steel spokes? Thanks for any info.
