Premium Member effzee07 Posted October 24, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi All! I have the gray bike with the blurple wheels on it. I have always been a fan of adding reflective wheel stripes to my bikes, and removing the factory orange reflectors by the wheels. However, on this one I'm stuck! not sure what color would look good on it. Anyone got any ideas or pics of theirs?

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 24, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2014 Sometime did yellow, which I thought looked good on the blue wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrotzulu07 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I would not add wheel stripes to blue wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member GAZ Posted October 24, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 I like the idea of wheel tape but I prefer the black rims by themselves. I might consider it if there was black reflective tape? But I agree I like the look of the blue rims like they are without the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjesenovec Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah this is a tough one. If it were me, I would probably either do blue or white wheel tape. A bright green also MIGHT look good on the blue wheels...but I dunno. I might end up getting a white FZ07 though, so I'd probably do either white or red stripes.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 24, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2014 It is easy for me. I have a red bike, so I am planning on doing red tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano225 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Same for me my bike is red so red tape will be,I might go with the customtaylor33 red set little pricey but you get what you paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member effzee07 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 I also thought about a bright green, or white. Hmmm.

Premium Member effzee07 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 I decided I want to go with the customtaylor33 stripes. I do not like his green though, so I thought about the black, or the white/silver color.

qjohnson Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You can get reflective black rim tape. It would look the best imo. Not really noticeable but still reflects at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted October 24, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'd stick with neutral colors; the two you picked would be good. You just have to decide how reflective you want to be. The black doesn't seem to reflect as much as the white/silver.

Premium Member effzee07 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 If I had the white bike and the black wheels I would def do white....the wheel color is what is throwing me off. But at least I think i got it narrowed down to one of these 2.

mjesenovec Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Oh wow, i didn't even know there was black tape...that looks great! I love the gray/blue bike, but it would be hard to match my stuff with it. Most of my gear and tastes point more towards white/gray/black, so the white bike would match everything I have much better. The black tape on the white bike would be super stealth on already black wheels, but the white tape would POP like crazy. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I went with the blue tape from cycle gear. I think it looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thank you. One roll that covers both sides of both wheels for $10 is not bad. I do suggest taking the wheels off to put the tape on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmucat Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I did the high viz yellow, but guessing from the avatar you don't like the blue and yellow combo. I'd post a pick but cant remember my photobucket password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassecou Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Man, too many answers. Just ditch the wheels, they are way over rated. Go the Stormtrooper's way.

RED Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 By the way this is the tap without reflection on the Blurple rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I went with the blue tape from cycle gear. I think it looks good I think I'm sold on doing this to my bike now. Is the applicator easy to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I did not use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I did not use it Why? Just a personal preferance? And I'm assuming you used to 7mm and not the 5mm, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 This is mine. I'ts customTaylorr33 blue strip, but its on black wheels. Very bright, great service, and quick delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
