Posted project update #7Thank you
Unfortunately our project goal was unsuccessfully funded. We want to thank everyone who supported the project and a huge thank you to all the backers. This does not mean the Glo rimSkin will not be available. We will be launching the Glo rimSkin in March 2012. Keep checking our website and like us on facebook for updates.

commented on a projectDavid, we will still be manufacturing the Glo rimSkin if we do not meet our goal but it will take longer for production. The Kickstarter project would give us the boost we need to get things rolling right away.

Posted project update #5New sizes!
Post CommentWe spent much of the weekend creating the patterns for the new sizes we are going to be carrying. We currently have BMX 20", MTB/Trail 24", 700c/29er, MTB/Cruiser 26" (ISO559) and Super Deep V 50mm. The BMX, MTB/Trail/Cruiser and 700c/29er are meant to be used with disc brakes, coaster brake, or no brakes.
We are working on adding additional sizes including 650c, motorcycles, and more very soon! Here are some pics of the progress!

commented on a project updateThanks for your support Tien! We have been working directly with chemists to create a glow material that will match our needs! The material can flex without losing of its properties and has an adhesive backing to it. This will allow quick and easy installation just like our other style rimSkins! We have our fingers crossed as well! We have put in a lot of hours to get this right!

The affordable new way to customize and protect your bicycle rims. Made of a high quality vinyl, the original rimSkin applies easily to any existing wheel or wheelset. The rimSkin works with bikes of all sizes. With the original rimSkin, you can switch up the color of your rims without the need to buy all new wheels!
Keep up the good work and relaunch on here if you can think of other stuff you can do updates on. The most successful projects have been those that update on a regular basis for others to "like" all along the way. You have a good product idea; maybe a non-winter relaunch for funds might be the ticket? I'll buy when they are available; that's a promise!
