Damn I thought when I opened the package from Wiggle.

That tyre should not have a blue stripe. (on checking i hadn’t read the description properly and actually it should).

Whats the verdict here, suck up the mistake and stick a tyre with a blue stripe on a colour coordinated black and white bike with green detailing or try and flog it and get a new one.

Obviously the look of the bike is much more important than the actual performance of the lump on it!

I think you’ve answered your own question

Can’t you just send it back & then buy a new one ?

Just send it back and order one you want.

Black marker pen

+1 send it back (unused, in origonal packaging) and swap it for one with a green stripe, or just ride it and the whole bike will soon be a muddy brown colour!!

I thought this was about a dress.

Change the rest of the bike to suit the Tyre?

Clearly you need to buy a new bike to match this tyre.
Clearly.

Sorry for being slightly sensible here but isn’t this situation what the Distance Selling regulations were brought in for? Providing it’s still in its original packaging just send it back and get the one you want (IIRC you’ve got 14 days to do it).

Although to be honest I reckon it’s a good excuse to buy a new bike to match them. 😀

+ another for return it.

+1 🙂

I didn’t think of buying a new bike for it! Well that’s decided then!

Get the Tippex out and write ‘First ride’ on the sidewall…people will think you’re pro
