I just snagged a pair of '50s wheels that I have been looking for for a long time. They are Campagnolo Gran Sport (3 pce) hubs on Weinmann shouldered 27" rims. As they are drilled 32/40, they are more than likely English. The spokes are Cd plated, and the rims are a little corroded. Spokes are double butted, and tied & soldered. What techniques/methods have members used to clean old spokes/rims? I really don't want to break these wheels down if I don't really have to.
Any and all info greatly appreciated.
