Humm you're a little off on the alignment in that last pic. Looks good but yellow would have been better.

[Razor]

Me no likee :sick:

[TSM]

I think rim tape only looks ok on black and white wheels, and yours are neither.

[Quiff Wichard]

LOL so thats a NO then-!!..

alignment was slighly off - I saw that as I took the pic but cudnt be ar$ed.! to put it right- was sure someone would comment- and yet I am the most OCD person you will ever meet!.. (except Kwak ) I assure you that it is all fine now..


only cost £4- so I will ride with it a while and see how it goes and can always rip it off if need be !!..... leave it on for the BSB at Oulton park maybe !

[Quiff Wichard]

Humm you're a little off on the alignment in that last pic. Looks good but yellow would have been better.


and blue would lok good on yours Nex---


make you go faster too !!.. :lol:

I joke I seen yer pic- bike looks good and you look formidable- so .... if you say yellow its yellow !!! :wink:

[Kate]

Need to see the bike further away really to see if the rim tape 'goes' or not. Personally I've put rim tape on my front wheel but have yet to do the back, its a bitch to do and then some.

[Quiff Wichard]

I will take one when its all done

gonna do the rest today then will do a far away pic.!!


mind you- from the comments dont know if I will carry on - ha ha !!!

Quiff, you is an ace fella, and all that, for mailing the info on fine mesh with pics, highly commendable. :notworthy:
Not sure I like this mod though. :cry: :wink:
As TSM said, better on black wheels...

Hmmmm.....reminds me, where did that hat go. Haven't seen it for ages...

[ophic]

i like it :) i put some on last year, they are just starting to peel at the edges now :?

[Quiff Wichard]

i was worried about peeling
was gonna pop some clear lacquer over them??... but it might react with the tape!>>>> I should test a bit but then again they seem robust enough

[w1ll15]

personally i wouldnt go through the trouble of laquering them, if they last a year its only another 4quid next year isnt it

[Quiff Wichard]

correct-
I have come to that decisoin whilst stood in the queue at Tesco!!... :lol:

[Quiff Wichard]

Ok - last one !!-

ALL ON NOW- AND WENT OUT TODAY !.. SO TOOK A PIC....

[Spiderman]

nice background huh !!>>>??


hmmmm, stunning. :lol:

Pic makes it hard to appreciate the tape tho, i just see a lot of very jagged angles wher the tape is. Dunno if its the size of the pic or the camera you took it with or what.
But well done for finsihing it.

Does the Mrs like it more, now it has the go faster stripes both sides front and back? :lol:

[Quiff Wichard]

pics fine here spidey...!!
sure u dont need yer eyes testin!.. ha ha


actually - that MESS behind is right oppossite my house.

they have knocked a house down ad are building NINE flats... ! despite 30 letters of protest !...

Kim likes it ..... and for once I told her the correct price- (as it was only £4 )

[madmal]

[Kate]

Well, now I've seen the bike from further away, I like! I wasn't sure about rim tape on silver wheels but I reckon that looks good.

[Quiff Wichard]

I like rimtape. No place for it on my bike, but if I thought it'd look right I'd put some on.

[Razor]

I like rimming


:shock: :shock: :shock:

[northwind]

I was going to do that joke but decided against it ;)

[Moo]

What ever floats your boat.
It looks ok but I wouldn't have it.

[rob13]

I think rim tape looks good on black rims, but its harder to see on the silver. If i had black rims then i probably would have done it. I dont see whats Chavvy about it

[Quiff Wichard]

still looks blue when yer wheels go round.!!!

[drumroll]

put rimtape on my k6. took about an hour! but really pleased with the result. breaks up the black a bit.
