Re: crap sticking to wheels
Worth Dry Chain Lube - I've used it for a year now, through winter and summer and can not fault it. I buy it from amazon through Laguna motorcycles I think it is. Cheapest place I had found, when I last looked a few months back.
During the winter I combine this with worth chain wax, this gives little fling but helps protect the chain a little more in the rain / winter / salted roads.
With the dry lube I generally re-apply every 300-400 miles or once a week whichever comes first (dependent upon weather conditions)
No fling, just clean your rear wheel like you would the front, crud free! :)

Not tried removing that crap in particular, usually use WD 40 on a cloth to remove everything oiling from the swinging arm etc...... Hope it works on this. :)
Re: crap sticking to wheels
Yep - I've got white wheels too which are a bugger :o
I've found lubing the chain when it's warm after a ride rather than before reduces the amount which comes off, and then I use Autoglym showshine to clean the wheels.
Re: crap sticking to wheels
I always use an aerosol degreaser, any make. Spray a bit on an old cloth and wipe away, simples :)
Re: crap sticking to wheels
Gooz, try Vulcanet wipes. Type the name in and read the reviews. I bought them at the London bike show in the beginning of the year as they were half price.
Still half left and they are one of the best cleaning products I have ever used. Fantastic for cleaning bike between washes and can be used on all surfaces. Shift all the grease from wheels, bugs of screen etc and no harmful chemicals.
Re: crap sticking to wheels
it wouldnt be half so bad if suzuki in their wisdom had polished/painted the whole rim, half of each side is rough on the inners painted on the outers, the ****e sticks in ther like crap to a blanket, and cause its the rough cast dont want to come off !
Re: crap sticking to wheels
You going to the party? I'll bring you one of those wipes to try if you want.
No mess with degreasers and grease running all over your drive. Sorted. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
