Hi,

I dont usually venture into this section of the forum but I require some more visibility whilst on my bike.

Im using spoke reflectors which are great from the side but Id like some reflective tape for various other bits. Id like some chevrons or similar could you guys suggest something?

Also I commute on unlit roads, Im using a great spot light but Id really like a flasher too. Again, Im looking for recommendations.

Many thanks.

    I just bought some of the Respro chevrons in the link above. I put them on my rucksack and have been told they make me quite bright!

    Very easy to stick on and they look as if they will be quite durable too.

    Many thanks for the feedback. I got some cheap and cheerful chevrons from ebay.

    Just need a good flashing front light now.

    If cheap and cheerful don't cut it, go for SOLAS spec ones next time. Designed for maritime applications.

    Or 3M diamond grade. Buy it off eBay - great stuff.

    Google reflective motorcycle rim tape, you should find something like this:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/KEITI-Motorcycl ... 269&sr=8-4

    It's 7mm wide which is great for pin strips down the rear stays and the rear of the seat tube.
    Buy the white reflective for the front forks and along the sides of the frame. Those rolls are 6m long so should give you more than enough for a couple of bikes.
