【MDF】Titanium Rim Stripe 10M Review

Newer homes are better.

I had a used MOTARDWheel that I had to replace the Tire, make it Tubeless, and even replace the Spoke for rust on the Spoke nipple, because I got to the point where I couldn't back out of it,
I've already decided to add Rim stripe to make it Beauty by the way.
Rim wounds were smoothed with BlueMagic. After that, degrease with Brakes cleaner.
As when I pasted MDFRim stripe before, I cut the entire base paper into strips and pasted them with FreeHand without using detergent because I wanted to avoid moisture as much as possible because of the hollow wounds.
After all, it was easy to paste Stripe while removing it.
The stripe is not smooth in some places due to some wounds, but since it is a used wheel, it can't be helped, so we have to put up with it.
I think the new home will be more Beauty, and I think it will also prevent Wound.

work process
1 Smoothing by gentle Gold genus polish.
2 Brakes cleaner is used to degrease and wipe down the surface three times to complete the surface preparation.
3 Cut Stripe into strips.
4 Position the Rim and attach the end about 2CM.
5 While holding there and peeling off the base paper, pull up the one to be positioned at an angle of about 30 degrees, and crimp it while holding it with the other hand.
Overlap the overlapping area by about 1.5 CM, press down again, and start.
Finally, Finish while inspecting for air bubbles and floaters while pressing down with the thumb.
Lately, I have been doing it this way without Gauge.

tools used
Compound and Gold polish, Brakes cleaner, Bent Scissors (Kyosho's well-known polycarbonate body for radio control - Scissors for cut) White Driving glove.

I felt that Takasago's ExcelRim was better for Off-Road's 15mmStripe because it didn't have any indentations or anything. View detail

Reupholstered MDF Rim stripe

I replaced it with Titanium, my personal favorite Rim sticker.

The original wheel has a Vinyl type rim sticker, and it can be removed by using Remover.
It took some time to peel off and wipe up to remove the glue, but all the areas were reupholstered.

As with the last GSR400, I still love the look!
I would like to replace the wheel in the near future because the current wheel has some rust in it.
In the meantime, if you like the way it looks, you will want to ride a motorcycle! We believe that this is directly related to the following
I am personally satisfied. View detail

I purchased a Repeat.

It was already in use, but we were concerned about some noticeable stains, so we decided to purchase it again for reapplication.

We are attaching an image of the new image immediately after the reattachment.

I have tried other colors in the past, but I still like this one the best. I find the iridescent shadows reflecting the sunlight to be beautiful. Even though multiple colors are used, they are not vulgar and gaudy, and I enjoy the calm shiningly look. I feel that regardless of the season, the beautiful circle of light complements my feet and the body of the car.

Points to keep in mind when reapplying For your information, you may have already known this.
It is difficult to tell from the appearance alone, but when the old rim tape is removed, only the old adhesive is often left on the rim in the form of a tape. If this is not removed cleanly, the tape will stick or tangle in unexpected places when the new tape is applied, which will interfere with the work and make a considerable difference in the finished product. Since this product is a quintessential strong sticker, I pack it with Tissue sprayed with CRC556 to dissolve the adhesive a bit, and then wipe it clean with disinfectant Alcohol. I do not bother to wipe the Dustcloth with a new surface every once in a while. The adhesive can be wiped off cleanly by repeating the wiping process three times. After that, just follow the attached manual. View detail

It's a bit of a pain to put on, but for the price, it's custom!

It was LARGE weird to apply! It took me 4 hours from prep to crimping. It's a great way to make sure that you don't have to worry about your own health and well-being. The accuracy was good and I was able to paste it without bending or pulling. It is as shown in the instruction manual how to paste, but hang is not to put the air bubble while pasting because it is hard to get out even if you use Dryer later.
I'm not a fan of the overlapping silo, but people say it doesn't bother them. I'm sure I didn't mind it at all when I saw other people put it up.
It's quite satisfying to see the hard work that went into it.
I don't care if it looks good on me or not! View detail

It will be very Race ish.

It takes time and effort to apply it honestly, but the custom feeling after the application is done is even better than that. The adhesive is so strong that you don't need to worry about it peeling off if you just wash the car. View detail
