	Doesn't this effectively limit the use of the rims to track
bikes ? I can't imagine that the tape on the rim flats could
withstand being between brake shoe and rim during hard braking.
Nonetheless I will definately be trying this on my thrasher track 
rims.
	Aside: the advent of disk wheels brings into play a whole
range of artistic possibilities for the bicycle: spirals, spoked
patterns, and patterns giving various optical effects can be painted
on the surface of the disks. The possibilities for an optically
screaming final sprint are mind blowing.
