Wheel rim tape

[ajb]

I'm a little in two minds about this.

I think the bike looks good with it, but it was very difficult to apply the tape in a perfect circle, which, IMO is what it should be, instead it's a little off (maybe not noticable from >1metre away).

What do you guys think ?

where you pissed when you put that on?
Difficult to tell from a wee pic, you will be the best judge. Though if it wasnt right id rip it off and redo it but thats just me.
Looks smart enough tho

Here's a closer pick of the front wheel. You can see beside the valve where two pieces join.

It's not really noticabable if you don;t put your face to the wheel and study it, where it's yellow on black, the gap between the tape and rim edge is not equal all the way round, so with the rear wheel, when I spun it, it 'wobbled' a bit, we're only talking a couple of mm.

I applied it by hand, I don't practically see how the application can be improved.

Looks good to me!

When I put mine on my VFR, I took the wheel off so I could lay it flat, much much easier.

I put rim tape on my Pit bike wheels. They are 12".

So the curve was ALOT steeper. Caused the tape to crease and everything. Absolute nightmare!


Rim tape does look cool though.

And looking at your pictures, Looks pretty damn perfect tbh.

Rim tape looks gash 9 times out of 10, but it actually suits your bike

Craig that looks great, I often consider rim tape for mine. I have a black bike with black wheels, so wouldn't know what colour to do it, the natural choice would be white. Something to spice it up a bit.

How many packs are required to do both wheels both sides? I've been tempted to do this but the packs never tell you how much it will cover, sorry if i'm being a muppet but any suggestions welcome.

I got slagged off for mine because no one really liked the rossi yellow but i thought it matched quite well.

I got 18 stripes in the pack I bought (off ebay).

4x for each side of a wheel, and 2x spares.

Fair comment

I think the red looks pretty awesome tbh. Although it would have to be thinner. Its a little too fat in the photoshop mock, but i think a thinner red line would look the biz.
