Yellow and white tyre logos

I'm finding the new turbines near me troubling, they are off to one side of the little square window in our kitchen. Mrs M says that I am not allowed to ask them to move one so all 3 are spaced evenly.

The huge brace between the top and seat tube? The Bronson has the correct SC top tube:

l.e. But yes, probably OP is referring to the tyres.

I'm trying to see where the tyre valves are to check for logo alignment.

"Maxxis" logo in Yellow and White - just looking at the OP bike is making me uncomfortable 😆

Bikes should not be displayed with the crank in that position either.

EDIT - beaten to it whilst answering the phone.

Pedals not at 9 - 3 o'clock position.

Visible join in carpet tiles.

Knot hole in display stand.

Also for a man claiming "OCD Horror" there is very little thought in that photo. Look how the plinth doesn't line up with frame of the image.

Yellow and white tyre logos

Surely it's white at the front and yellow at the back, unless you're Dutch of course where it's yellow front and back.

Yellow and white Maxxis logos are quite common

I thought the white ones were OEM, and yellow were aftermarket.
Is there any difference in compound, as I can't run maxxis tyres, the yellow would clash with my bike.

More to the point, what sort of crazy terrain are you riding to require something as burly as a DHF on the front with something as racey as an Ikon on the back 😕

All the alloy SCs look off to me, verging on mail order cheap appearance.

SC have got themselves to a point where all their bikes look a bit disappointing unles they have three grand worth of wheelset on them.

Given the lack of text, I might be making a big assumption from keaboing posting that link, but in case none of the other "professionally offended" turn up, I'll take the heat for pointing out that (as the link will tell you)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a seriously debilitating disorder which leads the sufferer to having unwanted debilitating intrusive thoughts rendering day-to-day life a living nightmare.

and so, perhaps not the best thing to be joking about.

Yes, I know mainstream media joke about it, that doesn't make it okay.

Long time SC fan, but I'm finding it hard to get excited about them anymore, that new lower link reminds me of some Giant frames - aren't they made in the same factory in the far east?

That Orange, and other Oranges are, dare I say it, beginning to look good to me these days!

It saddens me that people who like things to be neat think they have a debilitating condition rather than a bit of a personality quirk.

It saddens me more that people simply don't have any attention to detail, anymore.

That's where you'll find the devil. Why does it matter? The spelling of derailleur on some of the stands on the other hand....

Op = & *** have a word with yourself. You are everything that's wrong with this industry and more.

Boost
650b
Plus size bikes
Internal cable routing
The capitalist takeover of an industry that used to be about getting out on the hills with your mates and is now increasingly about shiny stuff?

Is the OP responsible for all that?
