White Tuffs - should i or shouldnt i (opinions please !)

(1/6) > >>

squigly:
I have some White Tuffs with Aluminium undrilled (original rivets) hubs and i was wondering should i bleach them or leave them and just clean them, i was once told BITD that even white brake pads leave black marks on them so should i bother with white pads or is that merely cosmetic ?

interested in your thoughts people.

pickle:
they can be bleached back to a bright whiteness, you just need to cover the alloy hubbs in vasoline or something to stop pitting from the bleach.  have a look through the tech stuff and there's quite a few 'how to' threads on it  :daumenhoch:

brettypeeps:
I us the new tuff pads on my Bike now as the rubber is a lot better and they stop you :daumenhoch: old pads look great but the materials dont work like I remember them working BITD. 

I would bleach them back to white aswell cover the alloy hubbs in vasoline
