Front reflector doesn't fit

Can't seem to find space for the front reflector? Can't move brakes wider - any ideas? The cable seems to hit the reflector when the lever is pulled.

The bike also came with a whole load of other attachments that I can't find to put anywhere. Everything is assembled now but I am left with these **********

I would say don't even bother with it. To me, some of those other attachments look like mounts for a chain guard

Aha. Yeah I'm not adding that on either.

@ LBS there is a lot of extra brackets .. But , yea, just get a battery powered Active Light [though in Germany you need both]

Where is the rest of the housing and the cable thru the top mount levers from the Primary Brake Lever ?

Is this a Wal-Mart bike or an LBS bike?
