Colors may fade
- Thread starter dump
- Start date
Was looking at moto helmets recently and several had large warnings that neon color fading is not covered under warranty (none of the helmets were neon)
From this I figure
1: Neon Colors Fade
2: There was some big lawsuit over fading neon colors and companies now feel compelled to warn people
3: Neon? WTF is it the '80s again?
Or
Neon colors are known to fade in the state of California

Neon color cockrings are so hot right now.
Neon colors fade because instead of just reflecting light they absorb light of higher frequency and re-emit it at a fixed lower frequency (entropy mother fuckers) in addition to reflecting light. Absorption of high frequency light invites degradation. Pretty basic shit. If the general population wasn't so dense we wouldn't need such warnings.

Isn't there some magnetic, carbon tape to offset that ?
Gotta think of the Euros and their day glow.
Not a problem when you have to get a new bike and kit every year.
translation: intense cycles is an image company that happens to sell bikes
I have a feeling that most intense frames will crack long before the colors fade. Unless, of course, the paint only lasts four or five rides on an intense.
Make Intense great again!!
Whether if it was ever great is debatable though. Observed a couple of specimens built to maximize traction on left-side 5% trail outslope over the last few years in a town with mountain biking population of <100.
all of this is making me miss my uzzi just a little bit . . . 
so many good times on that thing. and look - no colors to fade!

Wait, wasn't that fluo yellow when new?all of this is making me miss my uzzi just a little bit . . .
They should cut out a step in the process and make all their frames Magnaflux green.
how does neon get misaligned?
NO! Neon colors are made up of small crabon molecules. By not coating your helmet with spf40 or better, the crabon looses its integrity. Lube up your plastic bike and neon helmet before you ride!
