Default Rim taped my bike wheels

Well pleased with the look of my wheels after putting some rim tape on them and it only cost 3 pounds

Yeah it's in sections got it off eBay it's the 6mm stuff and its my second 1000 I had an r1 before but it's a much more confidence inspiring bike feels more planted and easier to turn I'm happy with it but will go 1098 next when there a bit cheaper lol

That looks quite nice

Rimtape always gives that extra bit of detail on bike wheels,
