Do we have to worry about getting our wheel bores dirty?

I've cleaned 100's if not 1000's of wheels and have never had anything fall into the bore. Most all of the debris stays on the sand paper. I would not use anything more aggressive than 1000grit.

This really is great information Joel! When I first started league racing, I often wrote wheels off because they would lose .01 in speed and reprepping did not bring them back to speed. It wasn't until I started cleaning my wheels the way you demonstrated here, that I was able to repeat top speeds when reprepping wheels. Now, my wheels last so much longer and remain competitive.
