Cleaning brakes
#3
I like to clean the braking surface of my rims with rubbing alcohol and superfine (0000) steel wool. Dampen a small pad of superfine steel wool with alcohol and clean any brake pad or other residue off the rim. Wipe the rim dry with a cloth. Make sure to use superfine steel wool -- it won't scratch or score the rim but more coarse steel wool may.
