How Do You Remove...

[Steve B]

the glued on rubbery bits from removed balance weights? Have two sets on my spoke wheels and it looks tardy but I don't want to scratch or damage the wheel rims with anything abrasive.

Cheers

IPA solvent usually works a treat on anything sticky.

Lighter fluid. Brilliant stuff!!

Citrus based solvent.

Eucalyptus oil........soak a cotton ball with the stuff and leave on the sticky stuff on the rim for a couple of minutes......then rub off. Works very well.

Bugg*r me but what a helpful bunch you lot are. So many choices. Not sure what to do now. Maybe I should start a poll and find out what the rest of the board think

Thanks again all (even the "pick it off with your finger" but I tried that. Bit of a tough spot to get to)

Well this will give me something to do on Thursday having booked a day off work to have a jolly out on the bike somewhere. I've looked at every weather forecast and it ain't lookin promising

Oh well any suggestions as to what chemicals to use to polish the bike after removing the glue? Looks like I'll have some spare time.

Thanks again

Steve
