Bicycle Reflecting Sidewall Tires; Part 2


Yesterday I put my new reflecting rim on the rear of my bike. The reflecting white sidewall tire is still there, but it's hard to see in the glare of the rim.

Whoa!! That is one bright image! How could any competent driver miss seeing that!?

It looks like a "fat" tire -- you know, like the dragsters put on their rear drive wheels.

Are you going to enter a drag race?

It's not a "fat" tire. It's a "deep V" rim with a reflector coating. The rear tire is exactly the same size as the front tire, with the reflecting sidewall. See my entry from December 14 below. That shows the tires without the reflecting rim.

Yeah, I know it's mostly a deep rim; I just said it looks a fat tire.

That should be "... like a fat tire." Please correct.
