Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out a way to remove these toe clips, and it seems like the only way to do so is to remove the reflectors as well. Most instructions I find seem to say to pry reflectors off with a screwdriver, but I have no idea where I could fit a screwdriver in. Any ideas of how to tackle this conundrum?

If I member correctly, the reflectors I had on an old set slide to the side and exit the reflector holder thru a slot on the side.

Is there an opening on one side of the reflector holding fixture?

Looking at an old set on ahybrid, there is an outside on the inside of the pedal where the reflector slides out.

Oops, meant outside

Need to pry the reflectors out (just the yellow/orange piece, not the entire assembly), and then unscrew the screws holding the clips on. The reflectors should snap into place, so pry gently.

Pic is not that clear, but that is what I think I am seeing.

Just pry the reflectors off(use a pick),you don't need them in the front anyway....unless you ride against traffic.If you want reflectors in the front,be careful,if you break one,go to the local LBS,they'll have lots of them.You'll find something to replace them with.

This is a common mis-conception. Among the most common causes of crashes when riding at night are cars coming from the front. Most riders go to good length to be seen from the rear, but are more casual about front visibility. Then they're exposed to cars making left turns in front of them, or entering intersections from the side because they don't see an oncoming cyclist.

Add to that the increased risk of being doored when riding in the city. Even a conscientious driver won't see you if you're coming up unlit from your front.

The reality is that the reflectors help with left turners, but not with entering traffic or people opening doors because those don't have lights pointing toward you to light up the reflector, so regardless of whether there's enough ambient light for you to see the road, you need to have a light in addition to reflectors to ensure you're seen from the front.
