Help Needed stripping wheels

(1/2) > >>

childhooddream:
Just got a pair of pro class wheels on the way but they are proper surviour condition and they are to go with my team goose im building which is the going to be pretty mint.. :smitten:

So fancy stripping them down, cleaning myself before sending to get new spokes/nipples and re built.

Ive looked through the stickies and can only find wheel building not the opposite.

Is there a quick, easy and best way to go about stripping wheels down cleaning the hubs etc.

Thanks in advance guys  :daumenhoch:

wildon:
If the spokes are too far gone and hard work to get off just get some wire cutters and snip them in half. BUT ... remember to get the freewheel off before you do anything...  If you split the wheels first you'll have a MASSIVE problem removing it after  :daumenhoch:

rick1970:
if your putting new spokes on dont bother undoing them takes forever , cut spokes with strong wire cutters  :daumenhoch:

So take free wheels off.. cut spokes and ready to rock. ;)

I dont know whether the hubs are sealed or not will have to tackle that once they arrive this week... guessing depending whether hubs are sealed or not depends how I take apart and clean etc? any tips?

Also any ideas of best way to clean/polish the rims? I didnt think they pro class were that shiny anyway?

energiza:
if wheels are anodized buy some ovenbride or oven brite..comes with a perfect bag that a rim fits in lovely
