some will say they won't and a few may say they will - best way to know is try on a set - just leave as long as you can in the dye  ;)

RIT or Dylon

there is also acetate to add to the dye - see you tube


cheers B  ;)

i,ve got a set of those in blue. used them for about a week then changed them, hard plastic feel about them not like the old soft rubber ones.

Sell them on and get black ones. Those things are hard as rock and terrible to ride with.
