Oxidation is a natural process that occurs when metal is exposed to oxygen. It can cause the metal to become dull, discoloured, and even corroded. Bicycle spokes are particularly susceptible to oxidation, as they are constantly exposed to the elements. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to clean oxidized spokes and restore their shine.
The first step is to gather your materials. You will need a mild abrasive cleaner, such as baking soda or white vinegar, a soft cloth, and a bucket of warm water. You may also want to wear gloves to protect your hands from the cleaner.
