Prior I had red rimtape, but with my new 8-spoker, I contemplated a new look.
Never much liked the side look of the CF hugger so decided to get the dremel out as well.
Doug was over for the motorbeurs, wife out the house so we could use the livingroom as workshop :cool:
Right, some work for us...

When rimming, a wet, soapy finger makes all the difference!!

donot use permanent marker...
donot use engine degreaser on the outside of CF lay-up...
Dremel a bit more carefully....

Ha, seem you boys been busy. :cool:
I have to melt your change for a while, as your CF hugger modification, but the 8 spoke rules, as the nice new brake discs and the fresh set of PP/PR2 tires.
I keep the fact you used the living room as a workshop a seacret. Didn´t you just have it freshed up last fall..... :offtopic:
EDIT: I actually think the blue rim stripes match quit ok (even I´m not a fan of rim tapes in general) as they match to the stickers whit a white cross under the seat. The red sticker on the fender would be cool just it, but whit the blue rim tape.... well not perfect. So rim tape :fing02: and fender sticker :dry:
Marker will buff off.
I don't mind te blue tape, but the red on the fender seems a bit much IMO.
The blue rim stripes AND the red ones on the front fender need to go.
If you really want rim stripes for visibility, get the ones that look pretty much black in ordinary light, but are reflective at night.
