B4 buying that mothers brush with long handle to test, I happened to see this <$5 similar brush @ Walmart (short handle). I bought it to test.

It works fine, as I expected, for the outside of the Spyder wheel but, too tight a squeeze & too awkward to try to clean the barrel.
I measure width of my Walmart AD brush head = 2 ¾ so smaller vs. the Mothers brush of 3 or 4”. So Mothers brush is a non starter for me.
I was easily able to use my hands with MF towels to clean back of spokes & part of the barrel.
My RS Spyder spokes alternate “small “Y” & large “U.” I can fit hand into “U.”
So, I was thinking, if I got the long handle wheel wollie, it would probably be faster to clean the entire barrel and even behind the spokes and perhaps the calipers & Brake disc as well! Eliminate the 4 microfiber towels I use to painstakingly do that cleaning.
Adam's Wheel Woolie - Large $26.99
But, how will I dry the wheels? I’d prefer to completely eliminate using MF towels on wheels for washing & for drying (Which is what I use now). Maybe some type of small blower?
I will start a new thread.
