I assume that you have to dilute the bleach, what ratios etc ? :-\

Here you go Nath ... works every time for me :daumenhoch:
1. Scrub each wheel well with a cream cleanser like Cif and rinse well
2. Grease hubs well or use a good quality PVC tape to mask them up (or both - tape then grease)
3. Soak in neat bleach and leave for 24hrs
4. Remove each wheel and repeat step #1
5. Check hub masking and repeat step 2 if required
6. Return to the bleach and leave to soak for another 24hrs
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until you're happy with the finish

Just make sure when you have the finish you want, the wheels are well rinsed. As I was in a rush a couple of months back to take a bike to a show & now I am scrubbing a rusty freewheel! doh chichi ya fool....
Yeah, so all the bleach needs to be removed or it will keep munching on them Skyways & anything else close by..
