White Paselas

[Mike]

I came across these at the Panaracer website. They're not for me but
maybe someone on this list would be interested to know they're out
there. Now the blue T-Serves... those would look sweet on my orange
Rambouillet.

I wonder, do colored tires ride differently. I've only ever used black
tires.

Yea - they have the white 28s in stock at Velo Cult in San Diego.
They look pretty cool.

Don't know on tires (guessing no diff), but I have an orange vinyl Stones album and it plays the same as the black color version.

No difference in ride, but they look nice and new and then you ride
them for 20 feet and they are dirty.

Not for clean freaks.

   It depends on the color. In 2005 the engineering faculty at MIT did an experiment with mice that were painted different colors. They, basically, were asking the same question that you've asked and it was found that those mice that were painted orange were 12.4% faster (followed closely by red mice) than mice painted black, white or even (surprisingly!) silver.

   Luckily, after reading of the experiment, I was able to snatch up one of the last of the orange Quickbeams.

I'm not talking about bikes here. We all know that Orange is the
fastest color. But I am curious if the pigment in the tires effects
wear and traction.

But if you played it backwards it said Keith is dead.

Looks like Panaracer is following the lead of Vittoria who introduced
a white 700x28c Randonneur last year
http://www.bikebling.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Vittoria-Randonneur-White

Although to Panaracer's credit they are offering a range of colors.
In the wet and rainy NorthWest pimping my ride with white tires would
just mean more time cleaning the bike plus I am not much of a hipster
just a guy who likes to ride his bike.

Keith Richards rides an orange Quickbeam? I thought they were dead.

I think you mean Keith Moon. He's dead. I bet Syd Barrett (original
member of Pink Floyd) would like Rivendells. Unfotunately he's dead
too.

It's the only vinyl record I saved from a pretty big collection.
Wouldn't want a Riv in this paint scheme though.
