I find it vaguely amusing that 'we' like so much the aesthetic of a black tyre on a deep section black rim - giving a very fat appearance to the wheel/tyre setup and a practical circumstance that in most respects, for us mortals, is a poor solution (ie overly heavy, delicate, excessively stiff rims).
In contrast, in the car world, the fashion is for ultra low profile tyres and wheels with thin rims and tall spokes giving a very slim profile. This is also a terrible solution as most modern cars have excessively wide rims making them tramline, giving them a hard ride and making the wheels vulnerable to damage.
If car fashion went to high profile tyres and bike fashion went to low profile rims, most of us would be better off!
Personally, I think most bikes look a bit silly with deep rim wheels.Faster than a tent.......0 -
you're right there, low pro tyres do tend to lend to the car crashing about on rough surfaces (Especially here in Essex where the last time the roads were maintained there were still horse and carts going down them!) I must say though I'm a sucker for the black rims/tyres combo on bikes!0
