Reflectors

Hey, this may be a newb question, but does it effect your spokes/rim if you take off the reflectors? Balance? thanks!

Nope, everything should be fine. As long as your wheels are trued and the spokes properly tensioned, you should roll good.

Spoke reflectors are a "safety thing". If you aren't riding at night and car headlights aren't aimed at the spoke from the side, they don't do anything.

Neither of my bikes has spoke reflectors. And I sometimes ride at night --- with headlights and taillights.
