Okay, the bicycle superstore (YALBS) opened this week and one of their
opening specials was tyres @ $5, so having a nose for a bargain, I
rocked along.
Yep on one level you have cheap chinese [censored] and on the other your have
whatever fits on the BBB marketing display. Bikes were apollo and Giant,
with the bianchi [censored] up the back ($4,000 for a "goldfinger" {:-)
Anyway, eventually finds the $5 tyres, just as the "manager(?)" comes
out of the back room and says "can I help you"[1]. Passed on the 12.25"
as I already have a spare and this size is a spare for the spare of the
bob trailer and purchased a couple of slick wannabes for 20". I was
looking for a pair of 20" for a two wheel bin trailer that I am
currently building.
Apart from black or white, there were TWO (ony two) multi-coloured
tyres. Perhaps I don't get out enough, but it was the first time I'd
seen them.
One red & green for the rabbitos/south sydney (NRL) and one blue and
yellow (eees?)
I passed for two reasons, I didn't want different coloured and the local
hoon team is black and gold (wests nrl) or red&white (Swans AFL).
But I did wander if putting a tyre in the colours of the local footy
team along with team flag on the fbreglass pole might slow down the hoons.
Has anyone tried it?

avoided me and other customers the whole time, even when I was at the
counter with the folding stuff.
