LIGHTWEIGHTS LW4W For Wheels

Pros

If you want to be more visible at night, this is an excellent product. They are not heavy plastic that you slip onto spokes, so they are also not going to be "someone else's plastic problem" years later at a landfill. They do a good job at reflecting--I was surprised just how much they increase side angle visibility at night. If you're a weight weenie I'm sure you'll be impressed with how little weight they are, while at the same time increasing the safety of your ride.

Cons

A little time consuming to apply, but not so bad that I haven't purchased them for each bike I own. A small learning curve to know how to apply, but again, not that hard. They (so far) only come in silver, so for black spokes they are obvious attachments, even in daylight--This hasn't stopped me, as safety is important.

Other Thoughts

Included in the products description "73 rectangles for spokes" (4 circles for hub ends) doesn't relay that those 73 rectangles are smallish self-adhesive appliqués that you wrap around each individual spoke. I've learned to use a small ruler so that I have each appliqué measured evenly with the previous one so it is consistent across all my spokes. The first set I purchased is now nearing 3 years old, and works as advertised, still. /// An odd Rhode Island State Law mandates reflective material / lights creating visibility for all bicycles ridden at night, (100 inches of reflective material) though I've never seen it enforced! Not sure about other States! I've dinged this review by one star because I hope the powers to be notice this review and provide a black reflective version for spokes, just like they have for their "stealth black reflective tape for frames / etc." (And, no I don't see how their stealth black reflective tape could be employed onto spokes). For silver spokes? 5 stars for the product, full stop.
