Re: Rim Tape... Yes or No?
In some instances it looks good, in most is looks terrible.

Re: Rim Tape... Yes or No?
Personal taste, it suits some bikes/colours and it doesn't suit others.

Hell will freeze before I put it on my bike. Absolutely not.

Re: Rim Tape... Yes or No?
I wouldn't remove it if the bike came from the factory with it. Do R6's come with red? I think
But I wouldn't put it on - likely to be all wonky. Possibly consider the reflective kind that is invisible in daylight if any at all. : |
