NOS Tyres - Release powder, Leave it on or clean it off ???

(1/3) > >>

Right then - got myself a nice pair of NOS tioga comp3's with the 20-odd year old release powder still on  ;)
Now do I leave it on (probably maintaining their worth) or say bollocks to that and give 'em a nice soapy wash and get 'em all shiney for the showy they're goin on ? It's not like I'm planning on selling them so i'm thinking get 'em cleaned  :daumenhoch:

Any thoughts.................. ???

JT71:
well, depends how easy it is to get off.

some times it's gone a bit gunky, i had a set of black panaracer freestyle tyres and it took for goes with a pressure washer to get em clean, i wished I'd never started.

bobafett:
Ahhh......right then......err - yep it looks a little gunkish with age now you mention it  >:(

Decisions, decisions - do I or don't I  :-\

currio:
My thoughts, mount them to a suitable coaster, and ride them like you used to  >:D

Jt:
put them on, and go for a ride. giving the bike good thrapping...

that way , they will look how they are meant to :daumenhoch:
