Wheel stripes

.blitz

I'm thinking - only idly mind - about putting some wheel stripes on the Marin, MotoGP-stylee. Is this the saddest idea ever or is it cool as ?

Every vote counts

I think if it was colour coordinated with the rest of the bike it could look ok. Otherwise, no.

I think it would look quite good. Never thought of it on a mtb before but I do have them on my R6 and that looks very smart.

you can always remove them if it looks shit!!

Have you seen the Shimano XT rims on a bike?

It looks ridiculous.

Someone on here (might have been SHeepsteeth?) put some red reflectives on a Stumpy and it looked alright. Not my cup of tea though really.

I wouldnt be overly adverse to that idea...not reflective tho...white or...maybe just white actually.

I assume these would go on the rims? What about on the tyres, I really want some completely white tyres... The only ones i could think of are the twin rails, but they have black sidewalls.


Anyone?

If you mean the coloured rim stripes that some motorbikes have on their wheels then its sad as you like imo.

Look about as good on MTN bikes as on motorbikes....
