Spoke cleaning.
« on: October 29, 2022, 16:35:32 »
I have recently purchased a 650 XT 2022 model with spoked wheels. All my previous bikes have had alloys. Can anyone tell me the best method to clean and keep clean the spokes. Is it a question of patience or is there a technique to it.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest that you wash with soapy water and then dry.  Take care not to use any chemicals that may remove the coating from the spokes.
Have a look at https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=39611.0 and https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=35473.0
