How To Apply Wheel Stripe ....?
 
I've Tried To Apply Wheel Stripe To My Wheels After Removing The Excel Stickers But I Had No Luck . Is There An Easy Way To Apply The Stripe ????

I've done this a few times... The short answer is, no there is no easy way! You need a bit of patience and go very slowly, bending the tape as you go.

I recently re-did mine, and found that buying pre-curved tape (you can get it on eBay) made the job really simple... Instead of 30mins, it was 10 to do the whole bike.

I tried to do mine on a really cold day and the stripes were not happy, they kept snapping, they were almost brittle. I will try again when the weather warms up a bit or if I can find somebody with a nice warm garage.

you could save your money and not buy ten beers ,spend the money you have saved on the pre -curved stripes and you will also have the benefit of not shredding your patience fiddling about with straight tape.:023:
