Onza Kieron Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Blue writing paper and selotape? Once the water hits it, it will go all washed out in places and look hippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 surely if you use blue electricians tape all of the dust will just stick to it and make it look filthy after a few days???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control-Trials Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 yeh thats why you double it up so it does not stick to it.What you do is stick the end of the tape down and come back on your self and go round with the sticky side up. Then come back on your self again with the sticky side down and then you will not get all the mud and dust sticking to it, thats wht i did. Hope this helps !!!Cheers !!!Dan !!!

Luke_bradley Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Get some blue fabric from a market like i did today (but i got white ), or from a fabric store. Mine's about 50 mm wide so fits my echo rims, i bought it in a 5 metre long strip and it cost just over a quid. Then just put normal wide rim tape behind it, works great. You don't see the colour of the rim tape behind it 'cus there's no light inside the wheel 'cus of the innertube, tyre etc If you haven't got any tape just sticky tape it down, if you do, tape it quite alot all round the sides. Don't want it popping out or anything(Y) Goodluck,Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 surely if you use blue electricians tape all of the dust will just stick to it and make it look filthy after a few days????You wrap it colour side down, then colour side up.

CraigMackay Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 cheers, I had thought about electrical tape but I wasn't sure if it would be strong enough. I thought maybe the spokes would poke through.A trip to B&Q.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
