    phew, I was thinking of something else when I read the title, luckily its only about wheel striping :D :D

    fluo yellow or blue would do it for me, If you went for orange it would make the bike slower ;)

    Make sure you warm the wheel surface first as I got these and they weren't the stickiest things to fit

    Mine had blue rim tape on it when I was looking at it at the dealers, asked for it to be taken off before collecting it, wasn't a fan...

    I do think it suits bike of certain colours though, but mine is all black

    Yes was just reading up on the instructions that came with them (thats a first for me)and he recomends heating the rim up a bit and also letting the glue cure for a few days before i presume washing or hammering it up the road.

    Well in the absence of anyone showing theirs off, it's picture whore time ;)

    This is mine. The first job I did when I bought my blade was to remove the red rim tape and add these.

    Some rim decals can look a little garish, I'm not a fan of the blue jeans Repsol decal. Reminds me of chavvy Dolce and Gabanna or Bench clothing! I prefer a little more understated decals......only my opinion mind.
