Spoke Polishing - Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time...

[Retrodan72]

...never again.

I decided on Thursday night that I'd start to polish my Asahi spokes while sat watching the telly. I thought that I'd take my wheels to get built this weekend and they would look great once built having a little extra gleam.



I will never be doing this again. It's the most boring and blister making BMX related task I've done.

I thought I'd whizz them out in an hour, especially with my right arm action, which you all know is at an expert level.

I have, this morning just finished the last 9 of 72. To top it all, Bendy tells me he's just done 220, the fooking lunatic. Lol

Did you try that trick with the cork?

Nah, Autosol and a rag, then a soft duster to buff up.

What a great way to pass the time

We all know you're more than familiar with the "polishing action" but how did you arm cope with "polishing" something bigger?

To be honest Chris, it doesn't take me too long to complete these days, I've usually arrived as soon as the bird gets here knickers off in the xhamster clip.

As for the spokes, I was doing 10-15 at a time then suffering a bit.

LOL reminds me of the time I did this with the wheels on my Flash; looked great for a while but soon dulled down again as they are not stainless ;(
