Review on πŸš— Enhance Vehicle Safety with customTAYLOR33 Copyrighted Reflective Rim Tapes - 17" Rim Size Ideal for SportsBikes by Keith Iverson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great from a safety standpoint but could use some tweaking

I was looking forward to putting this on my bike to show off the orange paint job. The tape reflects the light well and looks like a high quality material. It is clearly visible even in low light. The glue seems strong, just take your time applying it. Also, there were a few extra segments on the sheet in case you make a mistake or two, which is nice. But overall I didn't like it very much for several reasons. Since it's made up of segments, you'll need to align and overlap the sections a bit if you want it to look right. This is because each end of the segments is rounded instead of square. After installing several segments, you'll find a pattern in their alignment. But in the end, it still doesn't look as complete as a solid single-stitch reflective tape. It looks good from a few meters away, but not up close in my opinion. He also asks for a rim diameter for fit and camber, but still needs to cut about a half segment on the cowling to finish the sidewall. Does the job and adds visibility to my bike for safety, which is what it was meant for. If you're looking for the security aspect, it works great, but if you're looking for a more finished look, get the rolled band version. Next time I'll probably buy a different version, just my thoughts. Maybe in the future they will offer an option with a rolled tape made of the same material?
