He took some reflective tape and a hole punch and that's that. He says he did it on a rainy day. I did it too.

I don't have any arguments here, Thay all look much nicer than my garden variety department store brand mtn bike. Mine is actually and Oregon style hybrid where it rains more than 36in. annually.

You would think with all that rain, you would be used to a comfortable being wet by now.

Wouldn't you get soaking wet from the side? My guess the wind would blow straight through those things from the side. I'd imagine they should be much lower, but then you wouldn't be able to safely dismount your bike.
Anyway it must work or you wouldn't have bought two of them.
EDIT. By the way, is it a coincidence that these same pics feature on all web pages relating to this product. This page might be a better spot for you... https://www.bikeforums.net/forumdispl...-Your-Services

Thank for the suggestion, I lack the experience online to figure these things out.

Dressing for the weather is still the norm but this is preferred over the constant facial drenching. These are my prototypes and like them or not I'm proud of them just from the standpoint that they work. Perhaps I was being a bit facetious about my hybrid, I should have posted in umbrella hybrid thred
My apologies, I really am that clue less.

Man, that's a nice bike. I didn't even know they had a 7.6. I thought they only went up to 7.5. Out of curiosity, what size frame is that? It looks small, kinda like something I'd fit on. I ride a 15.5".

I think I actually need a size right between 15.5" and 17". I'm a little big on a 15.5" but a 17" is too big for me. I'd rather ride something I'm a little big on.
My mind is blown...

Pretty bike, but way too much carbon for my liking.

AndyGarton,
I have road set up on my hybrid too... not that extensive though..
What is your excuse of having/making this thing so close to road bike in price and everything but not the road bike?
