Title: Fork Reflectors Post by: Popeye the Sailor on January 27, 2010, 09:00:45 AM Was looking at the wife's bike-noticed that there are only two reflectors. I feel this isn't as safe as it could be-how can I install more? Is there a source for spares? Do they fit on the trellis? Thanks all for your help.
Title: Re: Fork Reflectors Post by: ducatiz on January 27, 2010, 09:03:40 AM buy some low voltage strobes and mount them on the sides.
best to use multiple colors. make sure they are pointing at horizon so they hit the sclera dead on. Title: Re: Fork Reflectors Post by: Raux on January 27, 2010, 09:07:21 AM get the reflective rim tape

Title: Re: Fork Reflectors Post by: Popeye the Sailor on January 27, 2010, 09:56:58 AM I could mount a lite-brite and spell out "Ducati" with the little lights.

Seriously, I recommend just using strips of reflective tape or go to a bicycle store. They often carry reflectors meant to attach to narrow tube frames. Title: Re: Fork Reflectors Post by: junior varsity on January 27, 2010, 10:18:18 AM Reflective jacket.
