Rim tape

[True Blue]

I was going to try some on my bike. What do you reckon, blue or white? I was thinking about powdercoating the wheels blue, but clearly my photoshop skills don't stretch to a preview of that.

If you can, try and get round ones.

I'd go for the white

I say white.

[quacker_boy]

Ok, your photoshop skills are utter WANK! But nice try, you can only get better

Judging from what i've seen in the flesh, the white looks better in my opinion. I like the odd accessory on a bike that shouts in your face.

Well I was thinking about the white but It seems a bit loud. Hard to tell from my artwork though.

Blue. White is too much, it should be subtle. In fact, so subtle you can't see it at all.

White - if you really have to.

[Paul@125power]

I'd go for white aswell, but maybe a lighter blue will look good aswell, maybe an anodised blue or electric blue.

I'd go for white

always been a fan of rim tape, as long as it is a contrasting colour and is similar to the bike colours only.

But at the end of the day it's your choice, you should go with what you like

[swaffs]

There are some cool reflective tapes called 'stealth' made by tapeworks that is black/white/red etc under normal light but relfects back white or blue etc. under headlights or camera flash.
I'm working on making rim tapes in this and hope to be able to do them fairly cheap for you all soon !

I think the white rim tape would look good on your Gixxer, the colour matched hugger looks class too. That reflective tape is cool too though.

[True Blue]

White it is then. I thought at first that the white would be a bit bright, but it's growing on me.

Cheers
