I was wanting to change the spokes to orange ones on the ktm just to add a little contrast to it and I came across these

I did didnt I.... I was planning on going orange or possibly black
So you think that putting a coloured plastic straw on each spoke will look good?? they must be split to allow fitting, they will collect shit and rattle, what a crap idea.

they are a coloured plastic tube (straw) that has a split down the length to allow you to put them over the spokes, like I said crap idea ;)
I thought you might have put them on and used a heat gun etc
You are de man ;)

They add alot more power then rim tape!
These (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bicycle-Spokey-Dokey-Spoke-Beads/dp/B004CXZSDA) look cool :cool:
and maybe try this (http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-your-bike-sound-like-a-motorcycle/) for the full effect ;)
Rim tape, however, definite no-no :rolleyes:
