- 1 on a colored chain
+1 on a yellow saddle. I don't know why, but i think a yellow saddle would look pretty fresh on there, especially if you change the bar tape to black.

bike island FTW haha cheapest wheelset i could find for 160....

What?

i'm doing the same thing to my bike (except blue wheels)
maybe a blue chain would look fresh

If you actually ride your bike, your chain will eventually be black (at least temporarily). The world is a dirty/dusty place.

Got a blue one on the mtb and if you keep on top of it and wipe down after everyride with a damp cloth, it will stay the desired color.

Yellow chain with yellow tires.

how do you use this color wheel?

^^ I was just going to ask the same question.. I don't understand the chart and it might be something useful

The inside are the primary colours, the second ring are the secondaries (combinations of the adjacent primaries) and the next set are the tertiaries (combinations of the adjacent secondaries).

but how is it useful when picking colours?

Pick a color and then look at what's directly opposite of it on the wheel, and that's your complimentary color! i.e., red+green, yellow+purple, blue+orange

For paint-mixing, of course! Although I prefer hue/saturation based wheels with a fade to neutral gray in the middle. I should airbrush a bike...as long as it's not a fixed gear, and as long as it's supposed to look like sh/t.

Coloured chains are to cyclists, what garlic is to vampires. For the love of god, just get a silver one! Please.......

I thought about running a colored chain on my new build, I just went with a SRAM PC-1 and called it a day. Although it doesn't have the wow factor of a colored one, I think I'm gonna be happier overall. Although Spank makes a sweet half link chain in colors called the Tweet Tweet(no yellow though) and the new KMC 710SL looks good too.

You mean the "wow that's ostentatious and hideous" factor? Probably true.

C'mon now YB! You know the saying......One man's trash.........................

"Colored chains makes it look like a clown bike"
LOLOL

This thread is 16 soon enough it will be legal. For future reference check the date of the threads most of these folks in these old threads aren't around anymore.

I seen the date, just laughing as it will sill pop on the top and people will see it like you.

You don't have to reply to tell people the obvious. LOL

It is not always obvious plenty of people Zombie threads that are long dormant not realizing it I will sometimes respond to an old thread not realizing how old it is. It is one thing when someone is truly moving the conversation along a significant degree with some really pertinent information but most old threads it is better just to leave them and if someone really needs it is a google search away. But so much has changed in 16 years.

I read it for that info as you just described, but found that piece of information the whole take on colored chains and laughed at it. Thought that it was interesting enough people would ALSO find it amusing as I did.
It's ok pal, it's all understood, no need to drag this on anymore.

Plus I needed 10 posts to post a picture in the Miele Toronto bike thread and that one got me over the threshold. Thank you.

For getting 10 posts I recommend currently active threads. You are welcome.
