    Suggestion / Idea: Need to have it so not all the rim has the tape on it. Say 1/2 the tape but it divided into quarters so it has the spinning effect - good on slow / city riding for saftey - dont know about the bling factor though. Hope you get what I mean.

    Yeah I get what you mean, but it would look stupid when the bike is stationary.

    Don't care about the "safety" aspect that some might want to acheive with doing it that way. Just one more way the cops could id your bike if they chase you then see you later somewhere.

    I know what you mean - if I had those strips on my bike I wouldn't be able to get away from myself.

    Paranioa is creeping in here m'thinks.

    I can't believe nobody's asked if rim tape is for repairing stretched rims.

    Yeah maybe they could be made under the Band Aid brand... for kurbed rims.
