You guys have skills. I bought some wheel stripes and man they aren't very easy to put on in a nice circle. What did you guys do?

Mine aren't in a nice circle. You just can't tell from 10 feet away, or when I'm going faster than 10 mph.

i made my own applicator with a peice of plastic in the shape of a L and used that i have done it free hand and with this little tool and let me tell u MAKE THE TOOL LOL

buy them precurved. I got a set off ebay for like 7 bucks. Pricier than the straight but excellent results from any distance or speed :)

like Aken said, you are the only one that is REALLY gonna notice, b/c its YOUR bike and YOU put them on. most people do not even notice that its not 110% perfect. you'll get more "wow, those look great", than "hey dumbass those arent in a circle" lol!!! i bought mine from www.tapeworks.com (http://www.tapeworks.com) (EXCELLENT people!!!) and they were not precurved, but i wanted the reflective white so i payed the extra money rather than purchasing off ebay.

I was just starting to get good at it with doing the last side of front wheel. Why does it always take till you get to the last one, to be good at it LOL.

did you guys do while still on the bike? Just wondering

On both stands so the wheels spin freely.
