Title: Pro Class Rim Strips
Post by: diesel on October 11, 2005, 10:26 AM

I seem to have read somewhere that you can use electricans tape or something????

What I need is a material very similar (ie metalic red) Its for a set of 26" proclass rims, so unfortunately the 20" ones found on eBay won't work for these.

I went to a craft shop and bought heavy duty ribbon, they have loads of colours and styles.  Cost me about £2 for both wheels.
