I don't know what the question was either, but I did a bunch of wheel soaking in OA last winter and had good results. I built a soaking tub out of a large, shallow heavy duty cardboard box (the kind of thing furniture gets shipped in) lined w/ heavy gauge plastic. I used a fairly dilute mixture of OA (maybe a gallon of OA and at least 10 gallons of water). I made this chamber for frames, but while I was doing frames, I treated wheels, too. I stood the wheels up and rotated every couple of days for complete coverage. I rinsed with hot water before rotating. None of these wheels had SS spokes, so once the wheels were done, I had to clean up those spokes separately.
