Default Wheel Cleaning

I saw this handy little device at Barber Park recently. It allows you to put the wheel on a table and spin it while you clean. From Joes Racing Products $80. https://www.joesracing.com/i-2109192...re-roller.html

Good use. Most of the time people use those for rollout measurements, but cleaning is a great use.

Love it. Saw something similar one of the teams was running at Daytona a few years back - did not pay attention to the brand - was eventually going to build my own. This looks really useful.

Thanks for sharing

Speed.
Leverage.
No scratches on the face.

I ordered one today. Might use it once or twice a year, but it looks to be worth it.

For me, this goes in the "nice-thing-to-have-but-don't-really-need-it" pile--I clean my wheels after every event (28 times last year) and have no trouble laying them flat/standing them up to get 'em clean.

Matt, after seeing what I spent on tires this season I'd rather put the $$$ into the tire budget--looking for sponsors (c'mon Bridgestone)
