Other members have used Xmas Wrapping tape of the non sticky variety, apparently it works a treat as I am sure others will testify :daumenhoch:

Apparently mylar (sp?) is the stuff you want, and sign writers use it.

I went to a local craft shop and bought ribbon, they have loads of different sizes, styles and colours.  Just put some rim tape over that to protect the inner tube.

This is just what you are looking for...

Click here for ALL colors

The best thing to do is to get a hold of some old nasty rim strips that nobody wants and just lay this ribbon right on top!  Works like a charm!

Cheers...
