FAQs
How many reflectors come in a pair?
A pair includes two spoke reflectors, typically intended for one wheel.
Do I need a tool to install these?
No, these reflectors are designed for tool-free installation. They clip directly onto the spokes.
Can I use these on my e-bike?
Yes, if your e-bike has standard bicycle spokes, these reflectors should be compatible. Their lightweight nature will not affect e-bike performance.
Are these reflectors waterproof?
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged submersion is not recommended. They are generally resistant to rain and splashes.
What is the exact size of the reflectors?
The approximate dimensions are a width of 26mm and a length of 112mm.
Do these reflect light from all directions?
No, spoke reflectors primarily enhance visibility from the side. They rely on light hitting them at an angle to reflect it back.
Will these affect my wheel balance?
Due to their lightweight design, they have a negligible impact on wheel balance.
Troubleshooting
Reflector won't stay on the spoke
Ensure the spoke is clean and dry. Try applying pressure to different points of the reflector's clip. If the spoke is too thick or thin, the reflector may not provide a secure fit.
Reflectors seem loose after installation
Check the attachment point. Gently try to reseat the reflector, ensuring it clicks into place. If it continues to be loose, it may not be compatible with your specific spoke type, or the reflector might be damaged.
Reflectors not visible at night
Ensure there is an external light source (e.g., headlights, streetlights) directed at the reflectors. Reflectors need light to reflect it; they do not emit their own light.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Quick and tool-free installation
- Lightweight and unobtrusive
- Suitable for various bicycle types
- Affordable safety enhancement
Cons
- Requires ambient light to be effective
- Effectiveness depends on correct placement
- May not be suitable for very narrow or unusually shaped spokes

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your bicycle wheel spokes are clean and dry.
- Take one reflector and gently open it.
- Align the reflector with a bicycle spoke.
- Press the reflector firmly onto the spoke until it clicks or secures in place. Ensure it is snug to prevent it from falling off.
- Repeat for all desired spokes on the wheel. A pair typically includes enough for one wheel; consider purchasing a second pair for the rear wheel for maximum visibility.
Compatibility:
These reflectors are designed to fit most standard bicycle wheel spokes found on road, mountain, and hybrid bicycles. They are approximately 26mm wide and 112mm long. They may not fit exceptionally thick or unusually shaped spokes.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check that the reflectors are securely attached to the spokes, especially after riding in harsh conditions.
