Is this reflective enough for you?

Is this reflective enough for you? http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...hBgon/weak.jpg The dimmer patches of tape on the rims are silver Scotchlite, the rest is V82. I seem to recall that the black Scotchlite is at least an order of magnitude less reflective than the silver. But I give him an A for effort :) |

Actually, no it isn't :D I used Reflexite V82, which is very high-performance prismatic tape. Comparing even the silver Scotchlite to Reflexite V82 is... well, 1000 words on the subject:

These are cool, but I'm a bit scared of putting real tape all over my bike, so I use a temporary product that is also extremely reflective.

Why am I hearing that Verizon ad guy in my head? Only this time he's saying "Can you see me now?"
