Rusty Spokes

[Mikku]

It's probably been asked a million times before, but what do people use when wanting to save and clean up rusty spokes? Bitd I used to use a brillo pad but just wondering if things have moved on in the last 35 years!

The reason for asking is shown in the pics below.

You know my resolve... my trusty copper wire brush !!!!

If removing spokes could do this..

Wire wool.

Had the same on my Rebel .
Used this stuff with water and 1000 grit wet and dry with great results.
Then mothers to finish off..

My race was cancelled today so for the first time in some 35 years, I sat down and cleaned up my spokes with some wire wool and elbow grease, followed by a bit of Peek's! I dare say I could have spent longer and got some better results, but am nonetheless pleased that they still look survivor but with more of a weathered rather than rusty finish!

As your aware very fiddly but looking great now

A little time and effort goes a long way  plus the feeling of bringing parts back to life beats a nos part hands down me thinks
