    Regarding the Schwalbe Big Apple 2.35 on a 29er.

    One thing that has always bugged me about this tire is the thin
    reflective whitewall ( I know, call me shallow and vain). It appears to
    be an overlay and probably could be removed.

    So my question to this forum:
    Has anyone tried to remove this ugly reflective piece?

    The reflective strip is the best part of the tire! (besides the
    excellent riding characteristics...)

    The strip on mine has worn a little. I'll bet you could scrape it off,
    but it would take some work.

    I like that strip, I think its great way to make the wheel more
    noticable after dark in traffic. A good saftey feature.

    I think it's sweet. My sister has one on her nimbus, and I love how
    reflective it is. I wish my coker had one.
