To pin or not to pin

[jimberlake]

...that is the question.

Practised on a spare trailer wheel. Would pinstripe the actual wheel much closer into the alloy maybe 10mm out. Thoughts?

Not sure about a blue stripe, try with white.

 

[jimberlake]

Yer know what you mean might be more subtle closer in, might try one to see once I’ve tested it comes off ok

 

[jimberlake]

MIght try red too

Red.. ads power

Ha ha - be interesting putting it on, comes in a pen and used a dinner plate for the test, will be making a wooden holder, jacking it up and spinning the wheel - might just work :-/

Could you match the red on alloy? Hopefully you won’t put a wobble on it as it may stand out quite a bit close to rim? If it doesn’t work and the paint won’t come off turn the tyre round

 

[jimberlake]

Yer red may work better, tyres only run one way, weird pattern so would end up swapping two over

 

[S0updragon]

Ahh shows how much I know about tyres

 

[jimberlake]

Sorry mine only do - most will run both ways

 

[S0updragon]

I’m only really used to bike tyres and they are one way only
