Question

Is it bad to put vinegar on a bicycle rim?

Answer 1

It won't hurt your rim, but I can't think of why you would want to.

Answer 2

It might turn your rim black due to the acid in the vinegar reacting with the aluminum (if you have aluminum rims) but it shouldn't hurt them.

Answer 3

If your trying to clean the rubber residue from the brakes, I don't know how effective it will be, but it might work. I can't picture any damage happening. In fact,that might be safer than some other cleaner.
