Hi all! Today we want to present you a new product that gives to your fixed gear wheels a new life, the StickyRims.
Surely you ever thought: I would change the color to my wheels but I have no money to buy new wheels ... Well, maybe StickyRims is the solution you're looking for.
About the StickyRims
Transform the look of your bike in less than 30 minutes with the first version of the StickyRims products.
StickyRims are made from high quality vinyl which is die cut into 4-6
strips per side of your wheel. This fits perfectly around the V section
and gives your wheels a new appearance. There is a small gap in the
middle where the spokes sit, but this is going to be changed in the 2.0
version (You can see it in the photos). Also please note that the product is not intended for use with
brakes so cannot be held responsible for any failure of the product.
Simply choose your wheel size, colour choice and your wheels V section height then your good to go!
For fitting help, see the guide here.

smaller vinyl strips in case of gaps due to variation in fitting and
mistakes.

Our StickyRims product review
We have fitted the StickyRims in our 7 speeds bike, but we remember you that this product is designed for fixed gear bikes and fixies, without brakes.
Our StickyRims are in "reflective white" color, we've needed 6 strips per side (and a little part of another). Originally, the rims were chromed but we wanted to change the color, and we selected reflective white, it's better if use to ride at night, and as you can see in the photos, it's highly reflective!
To fit it in our "classic squared" rims, we have needed only:
- the StickyRims strips
- a piece of cloth, to go over vinyl
- a cutter, to leave the vinyl perfectly adjusted to the base of the spokes
- about 1 hour for two wheels
- patience (this is basic when you use vinyls...)

Conclusion
We are really happy about the product, it's a great solution when you don't have money to buy a new wheelset, and it's really "eco", recycling old wheels and giving them a new life full of new colors..it's a nice idea...- Easy to use
- Cheap
- Ecological idea
- Innovative product
- It fits well, I wait for the StickRims 2.0 to adjust better between both sides of the wheel.
