Newest mod: bike is now 2 seconds faster!!!
Okay, so the title bull. But my newest addition to my bike, rimstripes. LoL.
I always thought they looked good so I bought a set on ebay $10 shipped.
When I got the set, I noticed the tape was straight. I thought they were going to be curved to fit the rim. I checked the ebay description, and it didn't say anything about straight or curved, so oh well, my fault for assuming i guess. You could say I was pissed at first and I was saying to myself, "it's impossible to make a perfect circle with a straight tape because it'll crease somewhere at least. But you know what? It worked out just fine. The tape went around easily without any creasing or bends.
Took about 10-15 minutes for all 4 sides.
Here's some pics. Lemme know what you think. Don't worry if you think it's ugly, you can say it. Everyone has their own taste.
