I've been riding friction drive bikes for a while now and I've noticed that a lot of road grit sticks to my tires.
I've wondered if that is causing extra wear on the tire and drive spindle.
I'm considering placing a sponge, rag, brush or some kind of wiper that will sit on the tire and wipe it just before the tire meets the drive spindle.
Has anyone else heard of this or tried it or had any experience or thoughts on this? I searched and couldn't find any posts on it.
Thanks!
