Ah, I thought that was another thing.
Sorry
Sorry
Love the Mavic kit 
I'd be temped to use the cranks unless others point out performance/reliability concerns, they are a beautiful (IMHO) and rarely seen crankset, not to mention match up nicely.
I've yet to try the oven trick myself as I read the RB thread on how to do it only recently. I liked the suggestion that good stuff the tire/rubber needs get melted/put back in through the heating process.
Another method I tried is using armourall with a nylon bristle brush, toweling off and then lot's of elbow grease with a dry nylon bristle brush to clean off anything remaining. Potentially removing some of that goodness that would be better baked back in? Also not sure how permanent a fix it is. I'll be trying the oven method if the white stuff reappears

Yep. span the wheel and held it about 10cm away. white stuff just melted right back in
Great idea and offers a higher level of control and doesn't need to be done in the kitchen so won't stink the house out! Win, win situation!

That was an attempt at sarcastic banter. Which I'd have thought obvious!
Meanwhile...
Love the direction this bike is taking!
It's going to look amazing.
