can anyone help? I have recently bought a carbonsports lightweight disc. The wheel has a lot of oil marks fingerprints on the foam between the strands of carbon kevlar. What can i safely use to clean the wheel? Anyone know? Any help or advice appreciated. :?

    I reckon that isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) should be OK - a good degreaser and cleaning fluid, but not aggresive enough to damage the wheel. However if it was me I'd contact Carbonsports and see what they have to say (that or ask at http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum ... um.php?f=3 where you'll get some experts in this).

    I have tried to talk to and email carbonsports but haven't got a reply, perhaps trying the alcohol is a decent bet. Thanks
