I was walking around my local bike shop looking for a few parts that I knew they wouldn't stock, and I came across the "Speedmetal Wheel Stripe" so I went ahead and grabbed 'em. (I removed all the decals from my Graffiti ed. and am going to do red accents through my bike and I really like the look of the rims from the R6 Raven.)
So the question... What is your first impression when you come across a bike with these on these stripes on the rims?
After getting one strip on I immediately took it off... 60s to apply, 20 minutes to remove.
I've heard that if you lightly spray soapy water on the rims it allows you to adjust the tape to where you want it. Then squeegee the water out from under the tape and dry it. Good luck
I love my rim tape! For $15 it completely changes the look of the wheels.
I used the pro grip tape. It comes with an applicator tool. It's also reflective which is good at night.
After I get the rest of my tape put on tomorrow I'll have an applicator that I wouldn't mind sending to someone if they needed it... there's also a howto on this forum somewhere that shows how to make one yourself.
not sure if anyone mentioned, but if u can and have the time, it's a sh!t lot easier to do with the wheel of the bike.... and take, take, take ur time, just like stomp grips, u need to be patient and it will turn out great...
I was just telling one of my friends an all chrome bike would be badass (granted I would never get on the thing).
