How to do a decent job at applying rim stripes
Hi, not sure if this has been addressed before. Those of you who has never applied rim tape before can benefit from this. if you are doing this, please do your lower back a favor by removing the wheels before applying the tape. why? the first time i did it i didn't bother taking the wheels off. bending down applying the tape when the wheel is vertical is not easy. also, unless you have a pair of steady heart surgeon hands, the tape will no doubt look like zig zag which looks horrible.
removing the tape is not easy either, it took me 3 hrs to do it. just for the rear wheel. anyways now i did it again, learned from my mistakes I did a better job this time. took me 30 mins. enjoy :rockon: btw rim tape is a very simple appearance mod but it looks awesome!
