Many, many moons ago I bought these stick-on, etched metal reflectors to replace the bulky,
irritating bolt on wheel reflectors for my commuting bike. They were much brighter, formed a
distinctive two-circle shine that literally screamed "Bicycle!" to any one who saw them. At slower
speeds they even had an attention getting strobe like effect.
The fact that they weighed nothing, didn't throw my wheel out of balance on fast descents and
because they were made from etched foil (Making it easy to clean the wheels) made them in my mind
the perfect wheel safety accessory for night riding.
However, I cannot find them anymore! none of the shops seem to carry them, or anything like them.
Nor did a web search turn up anything. Other than plain (read: inferior) reflective tape, that is.
Does anybody here know of this product, or a similar knock-off, and where I may be able to
purchase it?
TIA
