Black Reflective Wheel Stripes review
The Reflective wheel stripes reviewed by us comes in black color, but it's amazing to see how it works at night when reflect the light in white color, woow! We were searching for a reflective strips, but we always find it in white or other colors, but not in black...our rims are black and we don't wanted to change the color of the rims, with this product from FIKS: REFLECTIVE we have find our solution!
To install it it's really easy, as you can see in the video, you only need to clean the surface of your rims, in our case we have used alcohol, after this, you only need to start to peel and stick the stickers in your rims. If at first you have not placed well, you can peel it off and place it back easily, we have stuck it below the braking band of the rim.
Technical info:
Fiks:Reflective Wheel Stripes increase visibility for bicycles to keep their riders safe. They are designed specifically to fit modern bicycle wheels by easily sticking onto the non-braking surface of the rim. The special glass bead embedded film reflects light from the headlights of a car back towards the car and the driver to keep you seen and semi-permanent adhesive makes for durable installation that removes cleanly when it's time for change.
Sizes: 7mm, 14mm and 10mm

About FIKS: REFLECTIVE
In November of 2011, I pitched a simple idea I had on Kickstarter
to create reflective rim stripes to apply to the wheels of bicycles to
make them and their riders more visible at night. After reaching the
funding goal in only 30 hours and getting featured on popular websites
like WIRED and Urban Velo, the project ended with way more support than I ever imagined.
Today, with the help of several hundred Kickstarter backers from all over the world, Fiks:Reflective is a thriving start-up in Pittsburgh, PA set on changing how people view reflective products.

Reflective clothing and accessories really
haven't changed in decades--most of the reflective products available
may serve their function to help keep you seen at night, but they are
almost always something I would never want to wear or put on my own
bike.
My goal is to design quality, innovative
products that can help keep you safe without hindering your personal
style and produce them locally, in-house. We handle everything from
design and research to production and distribution all from our studio
in the Point Breeze neighborhood of the steel town. It is extremely
important to me to source as much as we can from within the United
States and we buy from local distributors whenever possible.
I am extremely grateful to the overwhelming amount of support for what we are doing, and I hope to continue to do everything I can to help keep you safe at night.
