Wazzer was fitting my old spare tuff on his Voelker before he had a spoked wheel, I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing and he says

"oh no, I've fokked this up"

I turn round and he has a broken rim tape in one hand and a tuff in the other.

I hadn't laughed so much in years, so Glen it's not only you.

I have a roll of "Clear rim tape" in a skyway bag, the bag is opened  ::) bit its on a card roll and Skyway sticky. I think the Skyway decals have fell away, but its as if i bought it on Saturday  :daumenhoch:

20 quid for 2 meters of this special Skyway tape if you want it  ;)
