So, i ride park and on the street, just recently got into bmx, got a real good bike, wethepeople arcade.
Any tips on how to keep the bike tires and rims clean?
I ride around a lot and they look so bad dusty in my opinion.
The rims are meant to be matte black, tires black too.

Clean them lol
Clean them, and car tyre blacking works well though I’m not sure if it’d completely ruin the brakes so maybe front only
I’ve heard a rim job works really well
The faster you go
Ride through a puddle 😵💫
😑
A dusty bike is a ridden bike. Just ride that shit man, BMX bikes are built for abuse. Might as well abuse em a bit.
I mean they’re tyres, they get dirty!
Also tighten up your chain
Tires are impossible. Besides riding park only, and even then.. only a matter of a ride or two.
hose it down with water. WHere is that park man, looks cool
Wouldn’t know,never cleaned my rims ever,no point when I just beat the hell out of em.But if you do,just spray em with a hose
Tire shine used on cars will help keep the tires black and shiny however it will fuck with your brakes and make the slippery as fuck if you get it on the rim
Hey bro, hit up a local car part store and see whether they have any spray detailed. That’ll work to clean basically everything but the greased parts on the bike. As for rubber, hit up some tire dressing. Aerosol is probably better for BMX purposes so you can aim it away from your hubs and chain. 💪
The only cleaner/chemical which should touch your wheels is 50/50 mix of H2O and 70% isopropyl alcohol. You can also wipe down your tires with that mix as well.
Don’t ride the bike. If you do, clean it.
