For some unknown reason even to myself I decided to put tire gel on my rubbers only to wonder where all those greasy little specs came from. I have never used that crap before on anything probably mostly due to the fact that I hate cleaning vehicles, especially wheels. So here I'm using a dish sponge and wiping this s#it all over my sidewalls only to find out that this makes them super shiny which I'm not crazy about but oh well, it'll mellow out in a couple of days which it apparently did by flinging that stuff all over the place. Even the back of my helmet was not spared.
Then after having reaffirmed to myself prior that I will never clean wheels again before I did this, I had to clean the wheels because shiny rubber and semi-dirty wheels just don't look right. So now I'm sitting on a piece of cardboard for the next 30 min with cleaner and a rag getting into all those nooks and crannies while mumbling to myself "why am I doing this...why am I doing this..." yet getting some weird satisfaction out of the experience. Thankfully everything is black and the shine will be gone before too long, can't stand blingy bikes.
