RE: Easiest way to clean a laced wheel?
Spray industrial degreaser (barely diluted simple green in a spray bottlewill work)let sit for a minute,use a light brush such as a 1" paint bursh works really well to give the spokes a once over loosening upthe heavy ****, Spray once more with degreaser, let it sit 1 min and hose off with garden sprayer nozzle.
Leaf blower or compressed air will dry it offin a hurry. Whole process takes 8-10 min max which is better thanthe 40 min I used to spend polishing my spokes before I discovered this trick.
