Looking for any tips or ideas for cleaning 52 spoke wheels. I understand it's a task but there has to be a way to help the laborious task. What do you use on your wheels?

Thanks!

 

easiest way is on a jack and a lot of tlc. i use s100 wheel cleaner but my rims is black.

 

Yeah I figure lots of TLC! Thanks man.

 

I use a cheap, medium soft paint brush (1 inch one will do) and regular dishwashing soap.

The brush easily gets into hard to reach places - like where the spokes cross each other.

This gets most of the dirt and brake dust off without taking too much time. After that a good rinse with the garden hose followed by some polishing cream on a shoe lace.

Just make sure to put some electrical tape around the metal bits of the brush to prevent the chance of scratches.

Oh yes, and a jack of course.

 

80 spoke wheels ain't soundin' so good now...

 

After you washing it, try using a leaf blower to blow dry your tires. I blow dry my bike every time I was it.

 

Soap, water and plenty of time.

 

Cleanings easy- S-100 scrub w/soft brush- rinse-leaf blower for drying.
It's polishing and waxing that sucks nuts.

 

Ha ha a leaf blower? Well if it's working sound cleaver! If you don't have a compressor. Thanks guys. Sound like I'll be using these ideas and def need a lift or jack.

 

had one of these since I bought her 5 yrs ago, works great.

Use what ever U like, I use simple green cut with water, let then soak a couple, brush then off and rinse and wipe dry, then wax two times a yr.

This is also a real good time to check for any loose spokes....
