I need to get my road wheel made true, so I may take this wheel in aswell, but the spokes do seem loose all around, I don't want to pay for a rebuild.
If I keep the wheels is there any tip for getting them looking good, the spokes and rims have got quite dull, is it just a case of elbow grease or can I add some wonder chemical?
What I like about the bike is every seems to be original parts, and made in Japan etc.
It needs new grips and pedals, I presume using modern stuff will fit fine?
Or can you suggest something old skool to keep it looking from its era? I know little about Saracens.
My bikes from those days were Raleighs and a Falcon
Cleaning you say? Well Duraglit metal polish works well, Astonish also works well, the bikers favorite Solvol Autosol (Every man cave should have some) and beleive it or not but the Oven Bags that you put your metal racks in to remove caked on stuff also works well, but dont put Anodised parts in or they will come out shiny silver I am forever raiding the kitchen cleaning cupboard for stuff, Brillo pads etc
