    Go on then, which ones don’t work?

    I think that the ones that work best are the ones where everything else on the bike is a very different colour to the sidewall

    Well I’m bored of trying to link to an image on imgr… If anyone can help…

    None of them ^ work. Gopping.

    I think silver rims and a light coloured bike are the only way you can make them look decent

    Bikebouy, here you go:

    You were trying to link straight from the imgur gallery, you need the link ending in the file extension (.jpg) for it to work properly.

    Strada Biancas are such awesome tyres – to ride as well as look at! Also available in black for you Houns….

    Or go one better in the volume stakes and try the Compass Barlow Pass 38 if you have the room!

    was expecting tires with black sidewalls, and these arrived in stead, they’ve grown on me

    Love skinwalls on carbon rims. Got some turbo cottons for my new 404’s. Shall pop them on later for a photoshoot 🙂

    Never thought I’d say it out loud but they do look good on some bikes.

    The OP’s unfortunately; it’d look a lot better with black. They look good on some of the pics above mind.

    It didn’t.

    IMO, obviously. It also rides sooooo much better with these on;

    Hoping maxxis release a few more for 29er apart from the Ardent, I’ve seen Minions in skinwall online but not seen them for sale

    The P20 always looked better on skinwalls. Dart 2.2 SC and Z-Max 2.35 8)

    Has anyone got modern skinwalls to run tubeless?

    Go on then…

    Unfortunately just for show now as the rear one delaminated & I prefer tubeless.

    Can’t seem to open a thread these days without seeing a photo of CFH’s Diverge. Is sort of growing on me though, even with the gobbler.

    Think the guards are Specialized ones.

    Turbo cottons on my 404’s… nice.

    Dirtyrider, lovely bike there but the valve caps have to go!

    🙂

    They are indeed the Spesh ones. Am going to fashion a flap for the front one, as it’s a little short.

    Turbo Cottons are delicious.
