I'll take the rear set off tomorrow morning & clean them.
Trying to take advantage of cooler morning temps (80-85F) before the afternoon scorcher starts. Been over 90+F here going on 4 weeks without any significant rainfall. We're hovering around 100F the past 3-4 days.
Later,
Finally got around to removing the rear wheels and cleaned the inside rim surfaces thoroughly this morning. Been raining here off & on for several days. Not complaining any as we've haven't had any rainfall worth getting excited about for 5-6 weeks. Now I've got all 4 corners cleaned of brake dust & old balancing weight adhesive.
