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

Shout.... shouted back.... await a stock check

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?

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

I'll pop in this week.

Yes but I was going to buy you a pint on top of the cost of the reflectors! Thanks though

Thanks for the heads up, just bought some of these to be fitted to my imminently arriving commuting bike.

Had to have a look in my local Lidl to see if any were left , was loads so grabbed 2 packs. Good tight fit.

Maybe we should have a brightest commuter competition this winter? .

Gonna tweak my route back to pass 3 Lidls, should hope one of them will still have stuff

Any tips on cleaning these? Mine are the blackest of black now, maybe it's time to replace them.

Have a go with soap and water.
And let me know how it turns out, mine are pretty grubby, cheers

I lost loads as the flat spokes on my mavics dont hold onto them apart from down where the spoke goes into the nipple, have removed them now until they go on some new wheels that have round spokes

Maybe its a bit late now, but regular soap and water does the job.

I got a compliment from a random driver about how visible they are. I was about to tell him to have sexual intercourse with himself until I realised he was being genuinely complimentary.

I've had them on my amazon wishlist for a bit as I've been thinking about buying some. would have snapped them up had I been on the forum in august

cyclopsbiker

muck off wipes worked fairly well on mine last week....wish I'd cleaned them a bit more frequent but they are pretty clean now

TimeEventParadox

Are these widgets still available, or is it a distant memory.

As you can see they really were the in thing in August, I'm sure Lidl's share proce shot up as a result!

I think I need to take 30 minutes, clip them off and give them a good scrub, can do the spokes properly then too.

Still worth replacing every Winter if they do get too bad though I reckon.

Halfrauds have them, tad more pricey but still cheap.

edit: as mybreakfastconsisted says below they're cheaper online at halfords.

Halfrauds do Wowow ones for ~£8 for 36. They seem the same as 3M ones.

Damn you, that thread led to this

and I've just added two of the 'seconds' to my cart, going out for a walk and I'll see if I still want them when I get back

I hate the internet, it empties my wallet

mousetoo

mybreakfastconsisted, are you the same mybreakfastconsisted as on GUT?

Mark Elvin

Just picked up a pack of 36 wowo ones from Hellfrauds. £8 or so,
