I did a general maintenance and clean of both my road and CX bikes on Saturday afternoon, and as a final touch, used some "Back to Black" tyre cleaner on the tyres. I don't know if anyone on here has ever done this as I don't recall it being mentioned before, but...

What a revelation!

The bikes were already looking good, but the shiny new black tyres are just the icing on the cake.

So, assuming I don't contaminate any braking surfaces, are there any hazards? If not, I highly recommend it!

Until you ride them again

Appart from the big warning not to use it on motorcycle tyres?

You've basically polished your tyres.

Whoops. Missed that. 🙂 If it helps, I did my best to avoid the tread surfaces.

Yeah, I can't really disagree.
