Spoke Polishing - Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time...

...never again.

I decided on Thursday night that I'd start to polish my Asahi spokes while sat watching the telly. I thought that I'd take my wheels to get built this weekend and they would look great once built having a little extra gleam.



I will never be doing this again. It's the most boring and blister making BMX related task I've done.

I thought I'd whizz them out in an hour, especially with my right arm action, which you all know is at an expert level.

I have, this morning just finished the last 9 of 72. To top it all, Bendy tells me he's just done 220, the fooking lunatic. Lol

Nah, Autosol and a rag, then a soft duster to buff up.

Dark Diggler:
What a great way to pass the time ;D

Jaan:
We all know you're more than familiar with the "polishing action" but how did you arm cope with "polishing" something bigger?
