just washed my bike,which has 5k on the clock and is an X never been near dirt and am shocked to see they are a nice shade of Orange,my bike is in showroom condition, immaculate as it is washed every week,i have just ridden it through a fairly wet winter by our standards,3 months of intermittent showers,well we are the driest state in driest country in the driest continent in the world,am really disappointed by this i think I will have to take it down to the dealer and see what he says.

I cant see these as sufficiently durable,on the plus side if they turn anymore Orange they will match nicely with the gold rims.
