scrubbing in.

Anyone know what it would take to scrub tyres in by hand? I mean sth like using a detergent mix and some kind of abrasive pad. ??

Liquid butter, and scrub. Thats what my mech uses.

Re: scrubbing in.

It's not about getting the shiny bit off, it's about getting heat into the tyres to do the final curing.

When was the last time you saw a racer doing 50 miles of scrubbing in after fitting new tyres - they just stick them in warmers and get them nice and hot.

You can scrub them with detergent and sandpaper all you like, but you're wasting your time.
