Also, has any one painted the centre of the disc? The gold anodised finish is not very good anymore and I'm considering spray painting it Brembo gold. May look a bit garish. Thoughts. Finally finished cleaning the wheels. Shiny again

Clean/Paint discs?
Been trying to get the centre of the discs clean. Brake cleaner and a brush. Anyone know of an easy way? Taking ages to do 1 side of 1 disc, and the brake cleaner makes me feel a bit crook.

Cleaned enough I reckon. The anodised coating ends up coming off if I try too hard. Cleaned the muck out from under the sprocket. I'll get the wheels on soon..then the calipers, then the pads and a flush of new fluid. Chipping away.

Great job on those 
I gave up on mine as I plan to do 17" wheeel upgrade. I have the rims sitting there, just need to find time.
