Hey, bit of an odd one this.

 

So I have a bicycle wheel that is 622mm in height (from edge of Rim to other edge)

 

I am cutting out a circle with vinyl to stick round the wheel to change its colour.

 

So, I go into AI and create a circle that Is 622mm.

 

I then give it no fill but have an inside stroke to match the width of my wheels edge.

 

I then expand the shape, half it, then half it again to get a quarter. This then is die cut out using my vinyl cutter.

 

The issue is, when sticking them round the edge of the wheel I am left with about a 2inch gap. Surely it should fit perfectly with 4 strips?

 

Can you see any reason why this doesn't work?

Sorry I'm struggling to grasp this post. 'edge of rim to outer edge', do you mean outer edge to outer edge, or inside edge to outside edge? I take it the prior.

 

'2 inch gap' where exactly? Is your vinyl matching the contour of the wheel well? Gaps inside or on the radii?
