In the 60s we use rely on an elderly bicycle shop owner for spoke tightening or wheel truing.
If you are using chain lube, the rear rim and spokes will get dirty from lube fling and road grime. Clean the chain and change to [url=http://www.tiroxproducts.com/chain-wax.html]Tirox Synthetic Chain Wax. It is white when applied and dries clear. It does not fling, and attracts less road grime.
I use Motul Chain Cleaner to clean the chain. It also works well with oil spills on the garage floor. I use to clean the rims and spokes with it. But I found that Honda or Ipone Cleaner and Polish works well. Because it is a polish, the rims and spokes stay cleaner and are easier to clean. Something like the wax on the chain. The Ipone is also good for cleaning helmets and their visors.
If you bike gets really greasy, Gunk is a great degreaser. I have used it for decades. Washes off like soap with the hose. Has a smell that every vintage motorcyclist will recognize.
