Post by: ghulst on March 06, 2017, 09:39:39 PM
Guys, the spokes of my steamer have gone slighly rusty. Any ideas how to get them looking nice again?

Are they standard wheels or stainless spokes?

Standard wheels as far as I know.

Of course they have. You should clean them by debate.  :bad

So, where do I buy this "elbow grease" and how do I apply it?

I save my old mini belt sander / power file abrasive belts and use the fabric side soaked in metal polish, makes it a bit easier and stops me chipping my nails darling  :mut

This stuff Lustre Lace (http://www.central-wheel.co.uk/bike_care/bike_care.html) is available but I've not tried it. Word of warning, don't be tempted by the"Rimwax" stuff, it look OK until you get road salt on it or try to clean your chain with degreaser them it goes milky / opaque and it's a pig to get off   :icon_mad:
