Look Carbon Wheels -- Cleaning the front wheel before putting it away...

I had used these spare wheels when my primary wheels were out of commission during the rear cassette replacement work.
They got pretty dirty in just a few days (maybe 10?) of use...

The end of the hub was rusting (brown/red rust -- steel).
I applied some rust converter (basically petroleum jelly...) on the rust and let it sit overnight.
The chemical reaction makes the rust turns this dark color.
Will use some abrasive-pad/steel-wool to take off the rust next...


The hub is also made by LOOK


The other end of the hub...

Started cleaning with steel wool.
Much better...
