I somehow broke my front spoke reflector and these things are all over AliExpress - are they as good as other reflectors or should I just get an ol’ reliable?

    going on just that picture, those don’t appear to be reflective…

    If you can see a shiny hexagonal grid on the tubes that is probably reflective, or if the pics clearly show it being reflective. if its actually retroreflective then they should work. I’ve not seen those exact style tubes but I find reflective spokes and/or rims more visible than a traditional spoke reflector personally

      You’re right, I thought they were all the same but some are reflective and some are just coloured - rim tape is a good idea though, I’ll have a look at that too
