White & Red reflective tape

[pbp2007]

I got 3M tape from Glowgear in Stellenbosch (that industrial area next to the railway line). They do all the colours you need and more, as well as lots of high-viz and reflective gear. If you talk nicely, they’ll even custom-make.

Besides plastering the stays and forks, I also put some suitably coloured narrow strips on the edges of the crankarms, visible from front and rear, and some red on the back of my helmet. When I was still using Looks, I put a few blobs on the trailing edges of the pedals. That’s not really an option with SPDs.

When you’re out there at 2 in the morning, there’s no such thing as too much reflective stuff.
