Pro Class wheels question

(1/3) > >>

CurtisEXP:
I have a set of survivor Pro Class aluminium wheels. The wheel tape used on the inside of the wheel (which showed through the drilled holes in the rims), was similar to a black ‘electrical’ tape.

I know many of the fully restored bikes on here have the shiny rim tape (metallic red/blue etc). I have seen several threads which suggest ways of reproducing that.

But I want to keep this as original as possible. It’s for a survivor build. Can anyone tell me if the black tape was original or was this just a later ‘fix’.

Thanks

The "tape" was actually a double-sided foil and was black on one side and gold on the other. If you had a blue or red set then that was also doubled sided ie red one and blue the other :daumenhoch:

Got the remains of my original ones in the shed  :coolsmiley:
