Hey clean freaks and geeks.
Got Tire Savers on your bikes?
I bet you do.
But……..
do you have Rim Savers??
lil mustache brushes for your rims.
then you can join the Clean Rim Club.

Huh... something else to tempt me paying $$ for something I've done without for what, going on 53 years?
Do these things actually have a metal part in contact with my precious rims whilst I'm riding or ar they adjustable to keep a small gap?
Or would that effectively make them useless?
I just last year built a new set of (tubular) rims so as to give the OEM set from 1972 a well-deserved retirement. My NOS rims prolly have thick-enuf rims to last me (and them!) my remaining lifetime, but still... maybe these things are worthwhile?
Something to ponder over a second G&T on the first Friday evening of Summer 2025.
Edit: website no longer connects so I'm guessing these are 'collectible' now, eh?

Bikes: Indeed!
Another reason to own lots of bikes!
If you rotate your rides through a large number of bikes you'll never feel compelled to buy these silly things. I've never worn out rims except on my rim-brake mountain bikes.
