Aerodynamic colours

Which is the most aerodynamic colour for a bike?
Red and white combined (striped, not mixed) is more aerodynamic than white alone. But Blue is more so than Blue and white. Yes?

Red is the fastest (maybe with some flake in for warp speed), fact.

Physics fail.

Well partly.

It would all depend on the conditions really. If it's colder then a thermal co-efficent mean then you would want dark colours and if it's warmer you would want to go with lighter colours.

Stripes make no difference at all.

more logos = more aerodynamic

True.

more logos = more aerodynamic

True, unless it hides too much red, then you end up going slower.

Is that because logos make you look like a knob and they're more aerodynamic than an arse?

Racing green, thats why it was invented

bollox, go faster stripes FTW

Brown strips on silver, then you'll go ike shit off a shovel.

Which tyres are better? black or blue?

Depends on the surface. On a clear piece of brand new smooth tarmac then it has to be black. On a shattered cglass encrusted dirt path then I can't see how blue will be beaten.

Red is fastest, as long as you don't have too many extraneous logos on your frame/forks... e.g. A seat tube decal can reduce your top speed by as much as 11%... This is a fact... For fork decals you can multiply this by about 50%.... Reynolds/Columbus decals don't seem to make much difference, they're quite small and usually gold which nullifies their drag quotient... I'd go for red, downtube decal, tube manufacturers decals FTMFW!!!

That's blue with white recessed tread.

Which tyres are better? black or blue?

Red for racing, blue for wheelies, white for skids.

BRG with yellow stripes, can't beat it.

all boollocks, red is shit fast. BLACK is the colour of the fastes
Speed dress in black.

All wrong! Clearly. It is quite obvious to anyone with an ounce of sense that silver (or even better chrome) is by far the fastest colour.

This can be shown using the following rather complicated mathematical equation (if anyone needs the cliff notes to help understand it, let me know and I'll pass them on)

Fastest = Silver

As for tires and wheels, well, lets not get started on that one just at the moment.

According to the literature that I have recently perused "Deep" is fastest when it comes to wheels.

I am not sure what RAL number Deep is however.

you always have to go lower the tone, don't ya??

teh Fastestest BIke Evah

yors for fiddy too dorrah like arrowspok no old bils good for rlj

like flaschy olimpics and stuff winner

Red

UTFS Code 201, in particular.

well lets work from the bottom up, we all know that pink is the slowest.

stripes no
the wind turbulence created when the air flows from one colour to the other is not what you want
it's like trying to push a brick through treacle

White is clearly faster than red- observe:
