Can you show us pictures of your wheels in the light?

H&H sells it on 24" wide rolls as long as you want. It is priced by the foot.

I'm sure other vendors sell it in different widths and lengths.

Yes, it cuts with plain scissors. I used good, unserrated Fiskars scissors. The backing is paper which allows designs or measurements to be marked.

Yes, the 29er wheels are disk brake wheels. There is no brake track on the rim.

I will find this stuff though. I'm all in to reflect up the bike.

Send me a PM with your address.

I don't want money but you could pray for me if you want.

I'm all about helping people and would be happy knowing someone out there is a little safer.

I might do my shoes and the backs of my crank arms ... so trailing drivers ignore all kinds of flashing along with the tail light they are already ignoring. Thanks for the good idea.

Now all these black components have a new advantage. I got tired of the trend, but I should just go with it.

Make the most of it. I am already planning to explain to the wife that I need to buy an all new unpainted carbon-fiber bike ... for Safety.

I have been riding motorcycles for year as a commuter. I can tell you the reflective tape lights you up on the road. I initially had the black tape and it was honestly meh at the most and remembered that I used to use SOLAS reflective tape on my floats when I was hunting for lobsters. SOLAS was on my kayak, light pole, and on my pfd. I replaced the old black reflective on my saddlebags, and helmet and it made a huge difference. The place everyone used to get is was www.identi-tape.com . Now look up on Google what reflective tape color is the brightest and it will not be black. Unfortunately I cannot post a picture as a newbee. Hope this helps
