Visible reflective strips

[jobob]

Watching Bubba last night, I noticed that the white reflective tape which appears to have the reflective material sprayed on such as this stuff from 3M is far more visible than the tapes (of any color) which look more like gel coating.

I just recently bought some of that same tape from TE, but in the pinstripe version. I put some on the front & back of Pokey's crankarms, on his fenders, & wrapped some on the fender stays. Looks good when I shine a light on it in the darkened garage but I haven't had a chance to go out on a night ride this week.

hmm, comparing the pictures of the 2 packages on the TE site, maybe that's not the same material. Oh well. Still seems pretty good.
