Rimblades

[gmt234]

Ive only bumped the kerb a couple times with Rimblades on, (Twice in 2 years not bad :-) and it just peeled back the Rimblade and wheel was fine
Its more the adhesive isnt fantastic is where Ive had 2 or 3 problems- which i suppose isnt bad really as Ive had about 5 sets of Blades

When replacing a blade that has come off, it is a pain to clean all the adhesive off.
Just done that as Ive got a puncture that needs repairing and dont trust the tyre place to be that careful- so removed it my self

Sometimes i wonder whether these wheel protectors are worth all the hassle

Ed- Phones fab gmt234... what you got?

Samsung Galaxy S4, (had it 18 months now).

My encounters (my pupils) with the Kerb are are unexpected hits, rather than bumps, i can usually stop the bumps as i see it coming and take evasive action. I only have Rimblade on one wheel FNS, as on my last DS3, 65k miles, only scraped that wheel, many times tho. So maybe Rimblade ok for not so hard hits. Not working for me tho.

Think I've mentioned this to you before Chris that I used clear silicon sealant smeared on the wheel rim first. Stuck on so well I didn't need to reapply it.

Is that instead of the primer? (I've run out of the primer sachets) what type or make is the clear silicon sealant?

When Ive run out of primer, i use methylated spirits to clean as meths is water based cleaner, then apply the blade
