Hubshiners?

Okay, but how about some tire wipers, especially since I just ordered
some JB greens.

lighteners!

I remember these from the 80's. We would put leather thongs/strings
around Campagnolo and Phil Wood hub bodies to keep them clean and
shiny.
Never thought of getting "store bought" versions, but there you have
it.

one of these things coming unsnapped and locking up a wheel are about
50/50. I am surprised that a company as conservative safety wise as
Riv would make something like this. Maybe I am way off, but this seems
like a very bad idea.
Am I crazy?
Cheers!

something meant to use in the shop, not ont the road.

I dunno, doesn't seem like a big concern to me. I made one for the
front wheel of my 3 speed a couple of years back - a leather piece
connected with a small bolt rather than a snap, but same idea. It's
never gotten snagged in a way that would stress it and unsnap the
ends. It bounces around a little (mostly because of the oil filler
spring clip) and makes a nice sort of sound while i ride, and the
front hub stays shiny.

No, I'd say they were definitely meant for use full time. They were
actually quite the rage when I was a kid some 40 odd years ago - I
remember being slightly jealous when a friend brought home a new
Raleigh that had leather straps (riveted, not snapped) hanging on the
hubs. My Schwinn didn't have that!

Every kid's bike used to have them way back when. No hardware, just a 4" long, 1/2" strip of leather with a "T" shaped tab cut on one end and a slot on the other. Never saw one fall off ever., a stick in the road is more like something you should worry about getting into your wheel.

WARNING
IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE OF THESE, ONCE SNAPPED SHUT,
TO OPEN UP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
CARE AND FEEDING
BEFORE EACH RIDE ON ANY DAY WITH EVEN A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF RAIN,
WARM THE SHINER TO 200F TO OPEN THE PORES. THEN GENTLY RUB IN 0.4
CUBIC CM OF OBENAUF'S LEATHER PRESERVATIVE. LET COOL, CHECK FOR GAPS,
AND REPEAT IF NECESSARY.
WARRANTY
ONE WEEK OR FIVE MILES, WHICHEVER COMES SECOND.

hubshiners. I wouldn't want to tempt the cycling gods by using
something non-French-approved like Obenauf's.

them? I have no trouble understanding that they'd do a fine job of
shining your hubs (as if that really mattered). But, then again, in
use they hide the hub and thus you can't see the shine anyway. Do
people with hubshiners remove them for special occasions so they can
actually experience the blinding bling of their hubs or do they keep
the hub shiner on at all times like those people who cover their
furniture with clear vinyl so that the couch stays nice and clean?

I don't think anyone can start it until they own the things...
...and I'm deeply miffed that there isn't a cloisonne RBW logo on the snap.
