... tee hee hee.





Without a paddock stand it's going to be a tad more difficult - maybe just getting a mate over to hold the bike upright and move it forwards (or backwards depending on the way you are putting said tape on) a little each time you say the word.

My only other advice if you are going to go ahead and commit this sin of sins is take it very slowly and steadily, don't over stretch the tape and possibly even mark a guideline onto the wheel first. Use a Chinagraph pencil (get it from most art, craft or hobby supply shops) as these will leave a clear mark that can later be rubbed off - and they won't damage the surface.

See - I can do advice as well as childish humour...






... main point being - hit it with a hammer.
