I've got twisted spokes too, they are tough to clean. I usually spray a load of Protectal on a clean rag and just wipe over all of them as many times in as many directions as I can.

And what were you thinking, PLEASE POST THE PICS!!!!!!!!!!!1

You can also change your brake pads. I use lyndell racing plus pads wich throw off almost no brake dust
