Verified Customer Reviews for Bike It Wheel / Body Stripes
No applicator
26 February 2025 by Grahame V
Description says applicator included but that turns out to be just a piece of card which was next to useless.
However, the tape is very sticky & you can tell it's not coming off in a hurry, so make sure you get it on straight first go as it's easily snapped if trying to remove & re-align.

As others have said, really great product that sticks well to a degreased wheel. Comes with applicator, but I couldn't work out how to use it, but easy enough by hand.

Perfect!

Once we'd worked out how to use the wheel applicator (no instructions so turned to YT to watch one of a similar type used), this became a simple and quick job resulting in a nice and even stripe on both wheels. It will be much easier to apply if the bike is on a paddock stand or similar so that you can turn the wheel while keeping your hands and the applicator in the much the same place. For the front wheel, my partner had to balance the bike on the kick stand to allow me to spin the wheel. When using the applicator, make sure you press the tape down as it's laid as it doesn't always stick fully.
The pack came with 2 rolls which covered both sides of the two wheels on my MT07. There was about 8in left from each roll. The white tape is highly reflective and looks great on the blue wheels. Great value for money.

Apply by hand and this tape is easy to use, not just on your wheels. It is reliable and looks great.

Decent

Does the job but would be better if it came with the applicator, is cheap though to be fair.

A bit fiddly
13 June 2015 by Ed A
Very fiddly with the applicator, works better by hand in my opinion, takes about 15 minutes per side of wheel. However one roll ran out of tape on a wheel so I've had to scrap it, will look to buy some other product! No fault of SBS. Other than that, looks good. Quick delivery as always!

Not long enough

The pack states "each roll will cover both sides of two wheels". So, you'd expect it to do two bikes as it comes with two rolls of tape.
It couldn't even do my Suzuki Bandit, I was left with half a wheel without tape.
Great service from SBS though, another one sent out immediately (which came with an applicator.. the first packet did not come with an applicator).

Good but could be even better

Bought these over Gear Gremlin ones. Little niggle to be had is with the applicator that is a bit fiddly. Look good now I've done them.

Not reflective
27 August 2013 by Tim
Bought this because it was advertised as reflective. Expected it to reflect headlights in the night but it is no more reflective than its gloss finish.
Returned for refund.

Simply applied by hand, the tapes will follow curves and panel shapes.
