bmxbob:
ok just got my Skyway OEs for my mongoose decade, and they are supposed to be white  ::)
i know you can bleach em, but i need advice ?
im not allowed to bleach em in the bath  :shocked: , so what do i use ?
what kind of bleach and how strong, for how long ?
they are plastic hubs, so do i strip em down and take the cups out ?
also have a dominator seat in off white  ::) can i bleach that too, without damaging the writing on the side ?
thanks Bob  :daumenhoch:

erm ? one more thing (very colombo) does the whole wheel need to be submerged at once for an even finish ?

munners:
take out axles, over do the grease on the hubs, and use cheap tescos or sainsburys thin bleach.

I have done loads and loads of thses and i dont care what anyone says......on the old alloy hubbed tuffs, it dosent matter if you leave them in there for 6 weeks......they will still be the same shade of white as if you left them in there for 1 day.

Bleaching takes the crappy dirt out and makes them a little whiter. Its not like when you get your teeth whitened! :LolLolLolLol:

Old tuffs where never really minty white anyway. The new ones they make are white as you like!
