Is it a sin?

[HLaB]

My commuter is a cheap Viking FX, I'm amazed that the tyres still haven't p'tured after just over 1900miles (the probably will tomorrow now ). Anyhow, I'm thinking to get some spare tyres and Ive spotted a pair of bonti race lights for £20; the only problem they have yellow or blue side walls. I thinking yellow is it a sin to have such a colour contrast ?

Nope, but you will need yellow bar tape to match

Nope, IMO commuters are fair game for clashing colou - just make sure the Sunday best looks the part.

Go for it: they're not going to stay yellow for long anyway the state the roads are in.

I can get a pair of grey hard cases for £30 but I'm seriously tempted by the yellow lites for £20.http://www.fudgescyclestore.com/index.php?p=165327

If it'd been my blue kinesis maybe but I don't think black and blue go well and its tempting fate http://www.fudgescyclestore.com/index.php?p=165327

Give over... black and blue don't go well? Nonsense young man... nonsense

Yellow are pro! Race lights are decent tyres for the £. Not many visitations in 2000 miles + on my Verenti. Pretty fast too.

I would pick the blue too, the dirt would stand out less. But the yellow ones match the white saddle more
Was trying to clean the reflective sidewall on the marathons today, hence the hang up on the dirt

Too similar to a bruise

I think I'd be tempted to go for yellow. Definitely not a sin on a commuting bike.

If the price is right, the colour will be just fine.

Thanks folks, yellow ordered (Sorry Ian), I'm off to bed now g'night
