I previous bought these reflectors in 2009 with Pyramid branding. I wanted to add a little more contrast for the same bike, so I ordered this set in 2024 with Sunlite branding; as recommended by Amazon product match. They look the same and the plastic clip is more solid than other brands. I still added some zip-ties for extra security. I also like that they are larger than the stock and some other brands. The mailing packaging was just a plastic bag with no bubbles; the red reflector had a scratch as a result. Note: ordered other reflectors from a different marketplace the reflectors arrived without a scratch simply by using bubbled packaging.

They look good. No problem installing once I read a review or two.It takes three spokes. A center one and one to the right and left that go to the opposite side of the hub from the side the center goes to. White piece has a slot that goes over center spoke and the ears slide into the center cavity in the reflector. The side of the reflector that kind of comes to a point, points to the hub. Once the white piece is in, turn it with a coin or large screwdriver. It kind turns and locks in. Slide the relictor towards the tire until snug. Don't overtighten it or slide it too far. You just want some pressure to hold it in place. One user recommended installing opposite the tire fill valve to maintain wheel balance. I don't know if that's critical but it sounded like a good idea and that's what I did.I'll have to see how it goes and if they hold up but I like the shape and look. They look like the ones that came with the bike but over time had aged and cracked.

These are garbage. They easily break off. Will last 1-2 months tops.

These wheel reflectors were extremely easy to put on. We bought a couple of used Trek mountain bikes and they were missing all the reflectors. We tried to buy replacements, but they were hard to find locally (even from the TREK store). We learned the mountain bikers actually remove them on purpose! Since we sometimes ride the bikes at night on city streets, we definitely needed to replace them. From Amazon, we bought headlights and taillights too, but in case we didn't have them or the batteries failed, we replaced all the reflectors including the front and rear ones. Took the bikes to the Grand Canyon and the reflectors looked great on the way back from watching the sunset along the red route. One of our bikes wasn't lit so I felt like it really helped with being seen.

I'm very happy with my vintage reflectors.These reminds me back in the days. I noticed these shapes are now very hard to find now.I looked for these shapes for a longest time and here I happened to noticed these ones in this shape on amazon ca.I sure like these waymore then the newer kinds out there now.And not only that these ones reflect away more in the sunlight, then the newer ones that you see on the bikes today.I really wish these vintage reflectors can come back in the stores and not only that I would love to see these vintage reflectors on the newer bikes now again and yes also it well remind me back in the days again. These sure really stands out great exacialy in the sunny days.

I like these reflectors. They fit really well. I wanted a second pair of reflectors on my bike's wheels because I don't think a single reflector on each wheel is visible enough. These reflectors are bigger than the ones that came with my bike, so I am more than doubling the reflection from my spinning wheels. An added bonus is that these reflectors reflect at different angles than the originals, which helps my bike be clearly visible from more angles than before.At such a cheap price, these reflectors are a no-brainer. Don't risk getting hit while crossing the street just because you wanted to save five bucks. Get them and be safe.

These reflectors are fairly large. I put the red reflector on the rear wheel and, although I did have to try a few different spots to find one where it seems to fit best, it went on quickly and feels snug. The amber reflector, however, will not go between the spokes of my 20" front wheels. My old white reflectors are not as thick and fit the front just fine. They have a shape that seems to want to fit against the spokes, but it doesn't. I didn't find that to be a problem. They look good and I expect no trouble with them. I would recommend these for larger bikes.

These reflectors are great looking and seem to go on easily; however, I have been unable to tighten them enough in order for them to not wobble on the spokes. If I keep them on my cycling road bike, I'm sure I will hear a continuous clanging sound. So far, I have been unable to use them, because of this. Instillation is easy, but as hard as I try, I am unable to tighten them enough. They will not tighten any more than all of the way, which I have done. Hopefully, one of the other two purchasers will let me know how they got theirs tightened. I'm about to use Gorilla Glue on them so that they will not wobble.Well, I would like to add to my review by saying that these reflectors look really great and that they reflect lights very brightly. However, they do not fit all designs of spokes. I have a TREK 7.6 cross/hybrid bike with BONTRAGER tires. They do not fit the spokes of my bike to my great disappointment, because they really are nice reflectors. You can't beat the price. These are strong, thick, large and bright reflectors, and I hope you can use them on your bike.The reflectors should get 5 stars, and the ONLY reason that I gave them 3 was, because I have to figure out how I can get them to stay and not wobble on my spokes. SIGH.
