Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

you need the name as big as the wheel, and it needs to be on each side at least 6 times. That way you can beat into peoples head what wheels you have. Ohh and make sure you have the loudest hub with the most paws so the sound will also murder our soul.

Honestly, I want the green ones, and may go and buy them before too long. But that wasn't on the list, so black was my second choice here.

I don't need a pic of the bike and wheels, just the bike will do. If it's already covered in logos then don't get the wheels with the white ENVE on them.

The bike is logo-less UD carbon(other than a headtube badge).

I'm not OP, but what would you pick on this bike: https://www.cannondale.com/en/USA/Bik...9-d0d717b8725a

I could leave them black, but I'm thinking matching green may be cool.

First, very nice ride. I think green decals would look good, my concern would be color matching. Two shades of lime will not look so good. I also think white would look good on that bike because they didn't put Cannondale all over the place. If the bike had more logos I would say go black, but with this frame, decals on the wheels won't look bad at all. I hope you can color match if you go with green though.

I think they should match, since ENVE OEM's wheels for some cannondale bikes, and they put the green decals on those.

Logos are OK... if they are tasteful or minimal.

I went with minimal.

Nobody pays me to ride so no free advertising for wheel makers.

Sorry to hear about your luck, but I feel that when I get demo products, that they payed for the advertising.

These are the decals I'm replacing, but on a naked frame. I might use the same post and stem, so the build could have some solid white logos.

Lucks got nothing to do with it. It's a distinct lack of athletic ability that is the problem

Now here's an idea, maybe I could get wheel makers to pay me not to ride their wheels.
