Rocking the Wheel Stripes?

[ChrisH]

Red will look nice. Red ends up looking nice on lots of bikes with lots of different paint schemes.

If it helps any, I put the pre-curved strips on my 696.  I used a mixture of johnson & johnson's baby shampoo + a lot of distilled water (1 liter of water + 1 small cap of shampoo).  Spray a little bit onto the clean wheel and it'll make it MUCH easier to position the stripes on the wheel perfectly.  Once in place, I carefully dabbed the excess water off and let it dry.

I remember seeing reflective black stripes somewhere, but can't seem to find them again...They were said to appear black until light hit them and then they reflected white.

 Anyone know where a person could find them??



EDIT: Found them on e-Bay (searched last night and couldn't find them???)

Anyway...here they are if anyone is interested...they seem to come in a number of colors and widths
