on road only for now, some of the roads on the island are little more than gravel tracks anyway so you can try some of those, suffice to say the dunlops aren't suited to the task and things get a bit slippery. some people buy new off-road wheels+tyres and some just fit 17" knobblies to the SM rims, either way it seems to work

nick, in an ideal world i'd have the disposable to get it proper gold wheels, but to spend about a third of what i paid for the bike on some wheels seems silly to me, when i could put that money into saving for the next bike, i prefer the rim tape to nothing at all, and it does look quite good in reality, the photos don't really do it justice

if you look at the tape while it's on the roll it is the same colour, when you apply it to the wheels it looks a bit darker, still yellow if you look closely but not as vibrant as the paint on the bike

still i never go slow enough for people to notice that;)
