Just call me a tart.............

#1 Post by gramey » Thu Sep 25, 2014 8:17 pm

So I'm looking to put a set of rim tapes on my wheels, where else, but can anybody tell me what width tapes I need as I'm thinking 10mm may be too wide? :smt001

Tart




I had gold rim tape on my old Brembo rims and I think they looked better for it .... but that was a long time ago

Wish I could remember the size - it may well have been 10mm

TART

Surely the width of tape is a personal preference thing? My previous Falco had red rim tape (with the graphite colour wheels and red paintwork), personally I think it looked good but a couple of my mates wouldn't let it go.

TART

You did really ask for that didnt you :smt096

I had Red rim tape on my Ducati, came with it, looked ok on silver wheels - no way were they 10mm - 6 or 8 at most.

They were never fitted correctly with off-set ends so in a moment of annoyance one day, I ripped them all off.

See how 'bad' Ducati owners can be LOL.

And I thought you were a nice chap as well

/shakes head

You going to buy some white boots for that authentic Essex tart look


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Last time I was involved in rimming I think gaffer tape was used! TART! :smt008 :smt008
