I especialy dont like the flourescent colours.

On some bikes it looks ok, especially e.g. Black R6's with red rim tape

Best though is when people paint on their colour of choice, but you dont see that happen too often.

Indeed. If you look close you can see where they have started to come unstuck. Might have to take it off. Not sure if ill bother putting it back on, id have to see how it looks without it.

I think the reason mine looks shabby though is because it has done a fair few all weather miles (8K in last 6 months). So if you do fewer miles they should be fine.

Ahhh sorry. Should have realised What colour rim tape you wanting to put on?

Huh? Im trying not to bite at the moment. I figured I was upsetting a few people, so im trying to be nice.

Ofcourse my bike is a beast though, is that what you mean?
