Belt dust or brake dust?

[rider1086]

Does anyone else have a hard time keeping their rims clean of dust from either the belt or brakes. Has anyone found anything to repel the dust or at least keep it to a minimum. I have to clean after almost every ride or else it turns black fast.[confused]

In the same boat here, have to constantly clean them. I do know Ceramic brake pads give off significantly less brake dust, but I've yet to see them for our bikes.

All in all, it's a small price to pay for being unique. [up]

they do exist, but not too good for street use...

it's brake dust...and other then getting black wheels nothing much you can do.
a dry cloth is enough for a quick cleaning...

its mostly road grime... every bike i owned the rims get black front and rear..very little has to do with belt or brake dust...
