Single Colour Tyres / Coloured Tyres

There's a distinct whiff of Tynan in the way the OP writes...

Lassy?
Doesnt sound right.

Coloured tires :
...are for supermodels only... why ?

700X23 is a superskinny supermodel, why don't they come in sizes for the larger lady... say a 700X25 or god forbid a big boned 700X28 lassy ? What's with the 'every colour as long as it's black' for big breasted girls ?

I think Halo make some bigger 700c coloured tyres:

Cheers n3lson !

700X29c that's a serious amount of mid rift.

Thanks !

Any others... in the 25 to 28 range ?

yep, cool 'n all,
but... pricey.
You can get two sets of the average 700X23 colour tires
for the price of a single one of these babies .

I don't know, ask Halle Berry.

I love the fact you think 28c is massive.

it's skinny.

20c is skinny...

I think the answer is generally because buying a set of coloured road tyres for your fancy road bike is like buying a pair of killer heels for a sexy anorexic model. Bigger clompy boots tend to be in more 'practical' colours.

I ordered some pink and black skinny tyres this morning.

Supply 'n demand init. Less fashion victims = +£££s. At least you'll know your one of the few tho ;)

Or, you could try cutting the left sidewall off one and the right sidewall off another, then glue them together. 23 X 2 = 46 - 4 (for the sidewalls) = 42. Should be perfect.

Or get a front wheel like this guy has:


Hope that helps.

If you had a choice of colours, which one would you choose my brother?

Hey folks.

I'm looking to get some yellow tyres for a bike i'm building up / converting into a fixie/ss. It's a present for someone so aesthetic is important, were it for me I'd just stick a pair of schwalbe's on it and be done but I want to get the look right, so does anyone know where I can get some all-yellow tyres? I found these on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-PAIR-700x23c-COLOURED-RACING-TYRES-FIXIE-/370487091505?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item95038b577e#ht_500wt_922

... but i'm not sure about getting cheap tyres off ebay incase they're dodgy or worse dangerous in some way..

what's the consensus lads?

Ta,

Kips.

Why do I even know this shit?

Continental GP 4000's are mostly yellow but are hard-wearing for London's goat tracks. Hard to find all yellow tyres that are decent.

Do you mean proper yellow or all gum coloured tyres?

I loves gum coloured tyres me. Remember those Vredestein that TdV used to sell? Didn't last long but looked beeeauutiful.
#closet hipster.

Gum coloured tyres look orthopedic.

And those Fixie Pops are shite. They don't like being put on rims. Don't even want to mention fitting them with inner tubes.

im after a tyre with horizontal stripes, I hear horizontal stripes are slimming and will hide my muffin top a little bit?

But you do know that tyres are round, right?

yea, i want the stripes this way

but not sweets, wheels

mmmm, sweets

Hipster thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

you know i was joshing.......right?

I bet someone somewhere in the Far East is filling the mould with rubber for that first stripy prototype while we talk.
