After searching for vikan brushes on this site I didnt come up with any reviews. So I thought why not ask?
I have ordered this vikan spokes` brush http://www.caramanis.com/common/pdf/525052.pdf
Comments / thoughts / experience?
Thank you

They look like very stiff bristles. I have had experiences with similar brushes that were rough on painted wheels and clearcoat. Also, be careful of the wire in the center. I can see how it would easily rub the wheel spokes.

i would be careful of the metal wire, particularly the tip. hard to tell from a pic how stiff the bristles will be. best of luck with it.

That thing reminds me of a bar glass scrubber...

As far as I know the wire is coated to prevent such mishaps.
In any case, if I am not happy with this coating I will cover it and the tip in a rubbery tape used to seal water hoses etc. This tape is very user friendly and has helped making my other detail brushes scratch safe as well.
Regarding stiffness, it is a bit of a gamble. I hope my Borbets are not affected. I will go easy.
