Bearing surfaces haven't been a problem for me - I've soaked many a steel pedal pair without ill effect. The Oxalic Acid does not penetrate grease or grime really well, and the bearings always roll smooth afterward. Beside, I usually have to rebuild the old hubs I come across, anyway.
You're right about the zinc spokes, though. They seem to have an adverse reaction to the Oxalic Acid.
