So i may have been a little over zealous with chain lube and now have a bunch of thick grime all over the wheel. The factory flouro yellow is quite fragile and I want to avoid using anything that may ruin it. Does anyone have any recommendations on what de-greaser to use (Available in the UK) I've tried the snow foam sort of stuff but it hasn't seemed to budge it. In future I'm going to use dry lube or install something like a scott oiler.

I did the same thing with chain wax. I found that Meguires hot wheels does beautifully on our flouro wheels

I use kerosene or WD40 to clean gunk off my rear wheel. Never had any fluro paint come off on the rag.

Are our yellow wheels fragile?

They seem to chip easier then the other bikes I've owned so i believe the paint is a bit fragile on the wheels at least. I'll give WD40 a go, thanks for the heads up
