cork method
« on: February 03, 2010, 08:30 AM »
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 ! :angel:

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.
