Evening,
Have several questions as I finally got the tires off the rims and am about to take all the spokes of, remove the grease and bearings then plastic bead blast the hubs to clean up before I install new spokes. I have about 5 - 6 spoke wrenchs in the drawer, but none fit the shoulder nipples. Does anyone have any idea what size of spoke wrench I should be looking at.
Second question is there was a green, almost like a duct tape used in place of the rubber inner band that protects the inner tube from the top of the nipples to prevent it from pinching or causing a slow leak in the inner tube. My question is what is this tape and how do you clean the inner rim after all these years of tire crude?
