If it's looks alone then B.

But tyres are important enough that you should pick the one which ride better... unless you're riding to a photoshoot.

Undoubtably A.
Black has no place on bike wheels in any way. It makes them look heavy. At least A brightens them a bit.

I'm not racist or anything, but that's too black.

Much though I admire the all black trend I still think A looks more balanced.

B. Plus, you get a much wider choice of tyres if you like the all-black look.

normally i would have said A, as i dont like black sidewalls.
but in this example im going to say B, because murdered out is a good look for a road bike.

Are either of them Vittoria? If so, throw them in the bin.

B

You can never have enough black... It never ever goes out of fashion and always looks cool/expensive ..

Well until white makes a comeback 😉

A. All bikes look better with skin wall tyres. The fact that are Veloflex and therefore ride great as well makes it a no brainer.

B, most definitely. Not only are the Mavic tyres excellent - I raced mine on Weds evening, you get the opportunity to align logos and logos. They are a rather narrow 23, compared with many brands, but the grip is excellent and they roll well. I've amost worn down the back after a season.

I found that I tend to tire of coloured tyres before they wear out. I've had black/white ultremos on a Ti bike taht looked great, black/silver Duranos because they were cheap (and won't die) and black/green on Son1's Cannondale (again cheap and matching). Black for my bikes.

A.
They look better and in Veloflex vs Mavic tyres, Veloflex are the clear winner.

B
I've recently changed my C40 (black & yellow) to black tyres,seat,tape. Looks far nicer in my opinion

A, if you de-sticker the rims as the logo size clashes, and put a bit more yellow highlighting on the build: cable outers, bar tape etc.

or B to keep it simple. But you realise you'll never find your bike if there's a power cut...

A

Veloflex's just complete the "I am considerably richer than you" look. Mavic's just look like they came free with the wheels.

Although I don't really like either and would have just stuck some Ultremo's on, I like their 'no sidewall' look.

I can't take my eyes off that brick that's a different colour to all the others. Did you break its predecessor?

B, I suppose. Do you wear ninja black too? Ideally though I think frames and fork should contrast with the rest, especially the wheels, in order to give an aesthetic balance. Silver spokes on black rims on a black bike just about achieves this too.

That's a nice looking bike.

I'd go for B.

Once you've had black you never go back, innit?

A. But I've had those tyres and the gumwalls are impossible to keep clean from brake sludge so go with the corsas (black sidewalls) instead. It'll never look right with a Shimano crank anyway...

A every time - B lacks class.

B. Or A if you add a bit more yellow elsewhere (maybe bar-tape or pedals or something).

Whilst you were aligning your rim and tyre logos, I was having sex with your wife.
This goes for all of you.
