Default "Trick For Cleaning Spoke Rims!"

I posted this, "Trick For Cleaning Spoke Rims!" in the detailing section section of the forum. Just wanted to pass it on.

Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps you could edit the title to refer to "laced or wire wheels." "Spoke" ususally refers to the cast 9-spoke wheels found stock on touring bikes in black or, on RG's, silver.

Not to argue that "laced" would be the most succinct title, but how am I to make use of my spoke wrench on a cast wheel?

Spoked wheels and cast wheels would be proper terminology, inho
