100% black bike becomes 100% reflective at night... and this is just done by adding some special 3M tape all over it...

it has been a while since i checked this site... hope this hasnt been posted recently... found it so cool that i just wanted to share with you guys...

I think putting it on the wheels is more than adequate. You can also get black reflective tape here.

Canadian Tire has the tape in the automotive trim section. I think it was $12 for more than enough.

It's not *quite* as bright as the regular silver tape, but I would have been way to vain to put silver reflective tape on my road rims.

you know what is funny?
i have these tires! and i did NOT even know they were THAT reflective!... :innocent:
(they came with my 2004 devinci oslo... i still use them on my 'rain bike' (which is my winter commuter bike without studded tires...)

and thanks for the 'canadian tire' reference... i think i'll spend a couple dollars to change some of the 'orange tape' i currenly have all over (also from canadian tire...) so that my bike looks a little less like a christmas tree...
cheers.

they're not that bright. the camera flash exaggerates the amount of light reflected.

ok. just realized that the bike lights/reflective materials have evolved quite a bit since i last checked this forum! what is this advertisement about illuminated(pimp car like) bike wheels??!! i'm affraid to click the link... well, i guess i'm getting old...
