lol that stripe it all thing might be perfect. how did you put yours on before thumper?

I also have orange vinyl lying around. But it's straight. Maybe a stupid question but is the vinyl for wheels different to curve around the wheel?

what i had to do with my bike was pretty much this:


if what you have is pinstripe tape, then it should have some flexibility in it for doing curves. i don't know if there is a difference between regular pinstripe tape or wheel tape. my one big concern is whether it can hold up to road debris, brake dust, and wheel cleaners.

Came into this thread thinking it was about 3 piece wheels.

How did yours stand up to road debris and wheel cleaners thumper?

i unfortunately sold the bike before i could put it to the test...

Damn. So the wheels I bought have a rim lip width of 3/8 of an inch. Think I should go for the 1/4'' or 1/8'' rimstripes?

pics of wheel would help.

my personal preference would be to go with something thin since there is no raised lip.

we already talked about how to do it on page 1...

that lip looks lame as fuck. We are in 2016 not 1996.
