Lazy Woman's Hub Cleaning Scheme

A simple pipecleaner, $1.99 for 100 at my local store (and yes, I have spare ones for free if you want one), makes an excellent hub cleaner for lazy people. The directions are simple:
  1. Wrap it around your hub
  2. Twist the ends together
  3. Forget about it for about a week on your townie or for a long (dry) ride on your pleasure bike
When your hub looks sufficiently clean you just tug firmly to remove. It is so easy that while the rest of my bike is still dirty the hubs are certainly gleaming!
