18 per wheel and a comparison against the standard reflector as supplied on a Raleigh. Hope this helps with a decision.A biking runner0 -
Nice, Hrun.
I may get someone to film me on the rollers - that'd show what they look like! I've got no idea...
I seem to have more per wheel... are the Lidl ones bigger packs? Or maybe I have fewer spokes...0 -
I could do to get me some of those. Might have time tomorrow to head that little bit west.FCN - 10

Lidl ones are 36 in a pack.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -
Darn! I went to Morecambe's Lidl, and there was only one pack left. That would have been OK, but it only had 3 pieces in it.0

Mine had 40 in! Done every other spoke on each side of each wheel, 4 left over. Awesome.0 -
Here is my TDF configuration. There are 36 in a pack so 18 per wheel.

I still have half a pack left from my commuting bike, but I'm sure I will end up using the rest if I can come up with some pattern.
Jake brought three packets for his bikes. In his words 'They're tasteful cycling bling'Officers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -

Time to get your wheel trued, Hrun!0 -
Those reflectors would make my winter commuter stand out far better at night than the standard reflectors I have now. I like the idea of being able to make some clever designs with these spoke reflectors.0

Same here, did 18 per wheel, had loads left over!0 -

I bought a pack today, because the spokes on my one set on the bike at the moment are flat bladed, I could only put one on the ends of spokes where it goes to a round profile again and holds them firmly.
I didn't go over board as when spinning they will make enough light and they glow like mad anyway so even a few on a wheel will attract attention.
I will put the remaining ones onto my winter wheels as those have normal round spokes.0 -

Seems like these are going to officially be Silly Commuter Reflectors. We could use them instead of caps or club shirts to identify each other0

Got 2 packs in the Ashton Under Lyne store yesterday.
Will be fitting them today readyfor the "Ride The Lights" in Blackpool tomorrow night.0 -
I'm sold, will order some now..0

Will be the first commute home tonight with them on, be interesting to see how they look from on the bike. I have fitted one of my P7 torches onto the bike now using a twofishlockblock just for a little more visibility0

Me (streatching) at the Upper Thames Audax a couple of years ago. Lots of reflectives
all over my person and spoke reflectors showing up well.0 -
Or a Pearly King?0

Did you get yourself some.... shout me back if you need another pack.Car? Scooby....
Motorbike? Ninja....
Bike? Sirrus or the XTC0 -
Hey Liv, if you have any spare, I'll buy you a pint! (and you give me the reflectors - I'm not just congratulating you for thriftiness, now).
I have to admit I have been trying to figure out if I could make an "accidental" swastika pattern with them.0 -

Consider yourself 'shouted' at. Didn't make it to the stores as legs are extremely sore due to very long run yesterday. Cheers0 -

The spare pack are going to go on the Bowery/be kept spare, but I could well go in to Lidl and get some more...
2 pints. Finder's fee. :P0 -
2 pints costs more than the pack! Though it would mean I wouldn't have to go into Lidl.
If you do go back, could you pick me up a pack and we can agree three pints all in?0 -

True, but 1 pint costs less... :P
