ALLOY REAR AND FRONT HUB/SPOKE CLEANING - any easy solutions ??

(1/2) > >>

400 Cafe Racer:
Hi Guys,

The hubs and spokes, paticularly the rear could do with a good clean in the centre. Not looking to polish things like the cooling fins on the hub but just to give everything a nice clean look around the centre of the wheel, like when you have just rebuilt one.

Having been out of motorcycling for many years I wondered if you have found any liquid spray non abrasive  methods or similar that will reach areas your fingers won't get to. ?

How do you do yours. ?

Thanks :)

I found pantyhose and a dab of Autosol quite useful on such hard to get areas...

And what cloth do you use?  :P

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Back in the day one of my push bikes had a leather type band inside the hubs that kept them clean probably not advisable on a motor cycle.

As I wrote: nylons/pantyhose  ;)
Long, stretchy, really rigid hence abrasive fabric... easy to wrap around things and polish in back and forth motion... brilliant for spokes, fork tubes...
