cork method

[oldsnow]

anyone heard or used the cork method to clean/polish spokes ? i used to BITD but havent heard of anyone on here using it !
basically you cut a groove along the length of a cork stopper (must be cork not rubber) SQUEEEZE autosol into it, place over spoke and rub up and down.
always worked for me and still does !

Used foil on spokes before and it p!sses me off ! 

Might give this a try

Sounds like a good idea, i can definitely see me getting me cork out for a bit of up and down motion in the future

had too look twice,mis read the title first time round.  the cork idea is a good un.

Would be great on radial spoked rims but it would be a bit of a pain on a 4-cross pattern - that said maybe 75% of the length of a spoke is uncrossed so you could do the majority of the wheel with your cork.  

The only way I could ever get in those tight angles where the spokes cross was by pulling a thin strip of cloth back and forth.
