Doh.. There's me being a sarcastic git about basically only having rim tape if you have no taste (hence why you would pick the Porsche, say no more) and then I go and see a pic of my old bike.....



In my defense I didn't put it on.... Having said that, I didn't take it off either

Yeah, I was winding myself up, I hate the stuff but never actually got around to taking it off..

Having said that, my first bike had blue levers on to match the bike, it took me two years to buy the standard ones and fit them..

I reckon you've secretly got rim tape on your bike, but are ashamed of it, so never clean it in case a small section was to become exposed

I don't mind it on some bikes
