Tan wall tyres

[wkkie]

I'm generally not a huge fan, but I think they go well on this rig I built up recently.

My Levo SL when in commuter/XC mode.

 

[Jabubu]

Yep loving them

Do you find the Maxxis DC to be grippy enough @wkkie ?

 

[birddog69]

Popped the XC wheels on as we are headed to Meadowbank tomorrow. Mostly riding on gravel. I thought I ordered black but these turned up. They work pretty good for what I used them for. Look alright on this bike.

No way! That's not my bike.

Seeing shit like this makes me want a road bike again so if you could kindly cease and desist what's left of bank account would be grateful.

Moving on. Many years ago, I did a thing:

Which at the time I actually thought looked quite good, kinda like a bike hot rod. This didn't last long however as I realised fairly quickly I didn't like Ardents. Without tan walls:

I don't know, I Think it looks alright! Tan and blue go together well, so doe the black. Without the white I think it would be a bit better match, but even now it's not a clash.

Take the water bottles out (or colour code them) and take another photo. I reckon it'll come up nicer.

That’s kind of you to say, but the blue and tan doesn’t do it for me… But I don’t hate it enough to not keep using them - at 40kph weaving between the bogans and buses on the way to work I’m not worrying about the colour scheme

Ok I’ll play. I’m not a fan but think they look alright on gravel bikes or skinnier tires and hardtails.

Ok I’ll play. I reckon they only look good on gravel sized tires. Occasionally the right mtb will come along and they work well. Usually a hardtail.

you just had to didn’t you! Grrr

Sorry. We won’t mention that custom YT with pink tyres.

Those paint splatter tires are pretty rank too.
