Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 cleaning spoked wheels 2 Years ago   can anyone out there tell me what to use on a rear spoked wheel to clean the crap off of the center hub..?? I would like to spray the hub with some kind of cleaner but i dont want to harm the aluminum or stain the hub..i cant get my hands in there to clean it so i will use a small electric powerwasher to get the grime off,but i wonder if anyone else has any ideas on how to properly clean the spoked wheels.. ???The rear wheel is the main problem..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282262 huskerbob (User) Life is about monents that take your breath away Platinum Boarder Posts: 2186 Re:cleaning spoked wheels 2 Years ago   I just bough Black magic engine cleaner got off a lot of grime spray on wash off grime gone works for me good luck   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #282271 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it ..

I bought some type of kitchen brush at WM but the darn thing fell apart first time I used it and it didn't work that good anyway. There must be an easy way to do it. nightstar57 wrote: can anyone out there tell me what to use on a rear spoked wheel to clean the crap off of the center hub..??

Stick I use the cheap bottle brush from walmart. Never had any problem with it falling apart. It also works great for getting to and cleaning the center hub.   Logged     Any old hippie that knows a pan head also knows a Roadie aint one! .......takehikes   The administrator has disabled public write access. #282352 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:cleaning spoked wheels 2 Years ago   The OEM spokes do not take kindly to a lot of cleaning. The coating on them is very thin and is easily rubbed off. The more you 'clean' them the faster the become tarnished.
