I kept the reflectors on my bike for a full year just to piss everyone off.

That gives me an idea: red and white reflectors on the Blindside in alternating pairs. Where can I get red spoke-reflectors?

I'll be next.
I would appreciate if you chill out on the name calling please. Unless of course you are still in grade school. But even as a child it's not very nice. So at this time I'll give the benefit that you are referring to a bike part and didn't finish your sentence.
Thank you

The plastic spoke protector is obviously there for a reason.
And I doubt bike companies put them on just to have people take them off or be called silly names.
That being said...I took mine off because I got tired of people calling me silly names...

^Lol, what a ----.
No, I really dont blame you or anyone else.
It seems very, department store-ish to put a plastic guard on many $3000+ bikes. I never had any problem with my chain so i snapped the silly thing off (that should tell you something already, any part you can snap of your bike, shouldnt be there anyway)

You Know!? For Kids!
If the spoke protector has a LBD on it, removal would be foolhardy at best.
