Looking for a white front reflector

[Plodder]

Put the LEDs on flash, not a problem as far as the law is concerned. In fact, if the Cateyes flash, and you don't need them to light up the road, put them on flash as well. Nothing shouts "Cyclist" as much as a decent set of flashing lights.

Does the Hi-Viz vest have reflectice strips? If not, splash out on one that does, but the most effective of all is reflective material on your legs/shoes/feet, as the movement catches the light better.

Thanks for the quick reply Cubist!

I definitely need to have the main front on to light the road, the lanes are a bit dark round here. I do have reflective strips on the vest (pays to be in the construction trade) and I have a few spare so I could always try and 'fashion' some for around the ankles.

I also have a 2nd CatEye front light but have no idea where the bracket is - Anyone got any bright (no pun intended) ideas on how best to fix a light to the bars without a bracket? Thanks again Cubist.

You can get spare brackets for most of the popular bike lights as many folk use the same lights on different bikes.

Type you model number into Wiggle and the likes.

Two strips of old inner tube. One wrapped round the handlebars to protect them, and the other cut the same length as the light. Punch or cut a hole in each end of the tube, thread one onto the light, then under the handlebar, then over the other end of the light.

Great, thanks I'll give it a go and keep you posted.

Cubist - I did pretty much as you suggested albeit with slight alterations and on tonights ride the light stayed solid with no bounce at all; very much contrary to my other Cateye which has the proper bracket but worked loose after about 8 miles. Thanks for the inspired idea.
