Rim tape?
Looking to put some rim tape round the rims of my yc2 pointy.
Could anyone advise me where to buy suitable tape? Is it easy to put on by hand? |

DIY HomePro Paintshop has lots of tape? Not your kind?
Any bike shop? Tried them? I think even Halfords have rim tape. |

Re: Rim tape?
Make sure your wheels are super clean so that it sticks well and get a spare set if you think you wont get it on right first go, like i did
 Took mine off now as i like the polished look more.

Re: Rim tape?
Wet the tape with lightly soaped water, that allows you to move the tape a little when you're applying it. Run your finger over the tape when its in the right spot to squeeze out any excess water and bob's your uncle.
