Title: Rim tape
Post by: leathertuscadero33 on July 31, 2006, 05:44:54 PM
Has anyone ever heard of tire rim tape?  I want to add it to my tires in yellow to add a little punch to my bike but can't seem to find it anywhere.  Someone told me about it but dont know where to get it.  Thanks.

There is also www.Planetsuperbike.com but according to a friend on mine, he had to wait almost a whole month before they came.

I had ordered mine through tapeworks.com, and was very happy with the speedy shipment.  They also send five rolls, even though you only need four, just incase you screw up one side.

Don't know your location but in UK and Europe "Motrax" tape is available all over, comes in a range of colours in both reflective and flourescent, I think in two different widths. I have it on my bike, easy done and has been durable.
see   www.motrax.co.uk

I kinda like the thicker tape from Tapeworks.com

But of course it's reflective, so that helps
