Maldino Posted December 14, 2009 Share Does anybody know where I can get my hands on a set of White Schwalbe's in the Pretoria area? http://www.3dimage.dk/ulstrup/wp-content/2009/07/spark_rc_2010.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted December 14, 2009 Share The only way you can get hold of a pair of those Ron's is to buy a 90 grand Spark LTD, or is that the RC. Most tyre companies produce once off batches of coloured tyres for pro teams. Maxxis went orange for Maxxis/ Rockymountain, (well when they were Maxxis/ Litespeed anyway), Conti did some green and orange units for Topeak/ Ergon and Schwalbe went white for Swiss Power/ Scott. Scott presumably then paid Schwalbe a large amount of money to get some white units for their top end Spark and Scale models. In essence a marketing/ sales gimmick. The only aftermarket tyres that spring to mind and are white are Geax. They produce white Suagaro, (or how ever it's spelt). Available, each, at most LBS's for the price of two standard 13" car tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bone Posted November 9, 2010 Share I just bought a commencal bike from a fellow hubber with new WHITE rocket ron's (exactly the one in your picture). It has done less than 50km. I will swop you for a set of new black rocket rons. The bike is completely white with white rims and frame and think it would look better with black tires.
