What happens if you put one red one and one black one on?

Red are fastest on this machine. We're it a red bike then such shenanigans would be a major fashion faux pad, and crop 40mph from your top speed.

Approaching perfection from a distance.
My Schwalbe Ultremo ZX with red lettering on the sidewall (front wheel) is much faster than my Schwalbe One without red lettering (rear wheel), although there is a slight possibility that I could be mistaken. :whistle:
 
Need to get some new tyres as the 25c black pro 4's i have are like 28's so... Black or red? Help me decide. The red will be the sidewalls though

Hi Jack. As your Cervelo is clearly a real posers machine :becool:,why not go the whole hog and go for white,after-all it will then become a real STATEMENT MACHINE with the white enhancing the Decals on the frame and the circulatory action of the wheels will serve as a rotary beacons :wacko: and LOOK AT MY BIKE markers on the roads:bicycle:.

Just for the record - I have a really really really nicely fully restored and retro built Benotto Modelo 850,I really do feel the "Bees Knees" when out on it. Is that also posing ?:rolleyes:

I'm not sure about red or black, but my green ones are kinder to the planet
