Side Light Bicycle Wheel Reflectors
Fellow night riders,
I recently asked about 'Sidelight' bicycle wheel reflectors. Appears I'm not alone trying to find them. I stood up this link for my LBS and thought others might be able to use it. http://metroped.org/bpi/sidelight.htm Bob _______________________________ Robert Brubaker, Director Metroped Inc. P.O.

Most newer rims have plenty of room inside the brake track. A strip from one side to the other, over the spoke bed, will show up from behind/angle as well. Matt O. |

I've tested 3M reflective tape along side the subject sidelights. They are easily an order of magnitude dimmer at the best angles and they have almost no reflectiveness at acute angles. The sidelight also have a smooth surface that does not hold dirt. More then a decade later mine are still as bright as new. Not so the tape that is also still on my bike..
