That brake cleaner stuff is pretty harsh. Are you sure it won't damage the wheel's paint/clear coat?

While I can't guarantee it won't have some long-term effect, so far, it doesn't seem to have damaged either of my bikes' wheels.

after all these years, I am still curious

I spray WD 40 on a rag or towel and wipe the rim and spokes. Doesn't get on the wheels and cuts the lube just fine. Not really rocket science

I use a chain cleaner spray I bought from cycle gear. I also got the chain brush and then spray on chain wax when done.

WD40 or the same kerosene I use to clean the chain. Neither has effected the clear coat on the rims so far, so looks like smooth sailing.

You guys know this thread is two years old, right?

Oh. Well, there are noobs ya know That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hahaha. Fair enough!
