Bike Rims

Is it ok to use degreaser to clean a rim that has a surface for v brakes.

I use any old detergent and water, fairy liquid, Car shampoo and so on. I would think degreaser would be good too. Rinse well.

the rim will be fine. The tyre might not be though.

I just use a dry rag - usually old underpants.

Maybe use a damp cloth with a little washing up liquid applied with water, then rinse to get it off the tyre?

In fact,they,re so good,you leave skid marks when you brake (sorry,couldn,t resist)

I use washing up liquid in a yoghurt pot of water and an old tooth brush.
Wipe with bits of toilet paper.
Takes a few passes though.
For tougher stuff i sometimes use anti-grease cleaning wipes i got from aldi or somewhere.
Kind of like wet wipes for serious muck.
