Quick question here,

How do you clean the hubs and spokes? I was thinking about sanding the Spokes but my hand canīt fit through thespokes. Shalll I use a long brus for the hub?

Fire away!

How dirty can they be that you use sandpaper? I just use a paper towel (maybe with lighter fluid) and compressed air.

I use a rag or toothbrush with orange degreaser.

yes, absolutely

I use something like this from the dollar store and some simply green

Thanks for the suggestions!

The spokes are mucky black. Fromcar fumes I guess...

It's called road grime. Simple green will do the trick. And what the heck is a fromcar?

Mineral spirits (paint thinner) will dissolve that goo. Use a rag and plenty of ventilation.

Ventilation takes the fun out of it tho

I would use a rag and metal polish before I ever considered using sandpaper

I would use fire. Lots of fire.

hahaha Just go to the $ store and pick up some rubbing alcohol and towels! Rub away, you can get all the supplies for under 5 bucks. Your prob low on alcohol anyways

fine grade steel wool.
Perhaps not for all rims and hubs, but worked like a charm on my
old cruiser's rims/hubs.

i use an angle grinder myself.

If you run the spokes through an extruder set at the right gauge it will take off everything that has built up.

Probably is the safer option...
