Cleaning those chrome spokes, aaargh!

[BikeSAG]

OK, I agree cleaning the chrome wheels and spokes is a pain and time consuming, but..............any one have any knowledge or products that cleans the spokes :small3d031: that is easier than trying to ATTACK each one?

I tried to get my wife to do it but found it was cheaper to get some cast wheels.

Hope your fore free in OK.

Yeah, the wife thing isn't going to happen.

Yes we are fire free. They were all east and north of us here in Mustang.

I got some stuff at the dollar store called "awesome". Spray it on and just wipe it off with a wet rag. It works great. Barely any scrubbing. The only thing is it leaves a residue that comes off with soap and water so I just wash it real quick with my wash mitt when I'm done. Works "awesome". I was amazed at the (EDIT) that came off with barely any scrubbing.

I use a bristled brush that I purchased from Auto Zone. Its realatively quick.

They do make something called luster lace, it's like floss for spoke wheels, but you'll still have to do one at a time.

I have twisted stainless spokes and I bought a tapered soft brush (about 12" long)that works really well. Soap and water is all I ever use, but the stainless does not show the dirt like the old chrome ones did.

1 more reason I will not buy another bike with laced wheels I am TOO lazy to clean them, I would rather ride

I may be sick, but I love cleaning my wheels and bike!:s

One of the things I don't miss about previous bikes (lace wheels). They look sweet when clean, but hard keeping them sparkly. Easiest thing I did was elevate bike on lift, get bucket of soap/water, a few cold ones & go "one-by-one." Just par for the course, I guess...
