Looks mint when riding, loads of people stopped to look when i was in notts today !!!

Erm, I'm guessing that it was probably the bike as opposed to the fact you've got slightly yellowy/white-ish rim tape showing through a few holes in your rim...

What a wonderful opportunity to revive a 7 year old thread and annoy those of you who find the art of thread revival irritating. A couple of days ago it crossed my mind that it'd be very cool having fluorescent (i.e. light-emitting) rim tapes so I went ahead and bought a roll of fluorescent adhesive tape online. Here is the result:

Looks much cooler than I expected, and it certainly gets looks, in case the squeal of my rear HS33 was not enough. The light wears off to a mild yet still visible glow after a few minutes. To "re-charge" it I spin the wheel and shine a light torch for a few seconds, after which the tape becomes very bright again.

And you ride in the pitch black often?

You are just jealous :dance:

The fluorescent tape still does the same job as my previous rim tape and it's about the same weight, so why not? Plus the tape came in 10m rolls so I've put the rest on sockets and switches so I can see them at night. With this stuff the possibilities are endless!
