I use this one. It reaches the back of my Grand Sport rear wheels.

You can google as I can’t recall where I got mine. My method would be to use an image search for “18 inch long wheel brush” and click on the pic for the website it comes from.

Others may search their way. No doubt sold by several vendors.

PS: Just tried my search method (on my treadmill!) and found many sources, including eBay!

I use a small wool mitt I bought from Griot's with their normal (not heavy duty) wheel cleaner. I just clean the front of the wheels, not the back.

With the GS, it is pretty easy to just reach through the spokes, so I clean mine with a 16'x16" folded microfiber towel.

I also use the wheel whoolie from Adams . Similar to those pictured above, but its got a bend in it which I find makes it much easier to get behind the spokes.

Took mine off and thoroughly cleaned them then used a ceramic coating on them. Now they are very easy to keep clean with a wool wheel brush shown by Wrecker3 in a previous post.

As been said wheel woolies and the large Speedmaster brush. They make the cleaning easy and fast.
