Luckily the rear , for some reason or another doesn't get as much grime or brake dust on it as the front.

Or you could try this http://www.daytonwirewheels.com/stor...+Wheel+CleanerI restore old cars in my "spare" time and these guys are tops when it comes to anything to do with wire wheels. Beats the hell out of sitting there with polish and a shoe string for hours when you could be riding.

RE: Trick For Cleaning Spoke Rims!
I think the initial cleaning wasn't that bad, considering the music, 5 gallon bucket, and cooler of beer that I had handy. But it did take some time until I figured out the tricks of using the lace. I will see how it goes next time. I intend to do this atleasttwice a month until I see that I can go a little longer.
As I said before, for some reason I can get to my rear spokes clean with a microfiber cloth and for some reason they are never as dirty or have brake dust on them that will not come off easily.
