Default reflective rim tape?

http://ridesafer.com/store/item/fpc0..._Rim_Tape.html

Please vote. Was thinking white on silver would be pretty unubtrusive in daylight, but a nice thing to have at night. What does the org think?

There are some guys selling pre-curved stuff on eBay in all sorts of colours. The most interesting, is black which reflects silver at night. Could be good on black wheels - subtle but safe.

If I ever get around to it, I reckon that's what I'll go for.

Could be good for safety... But then, it'd only be any use for side-on under lights, and by the time you're side on under headlights it's a bit late for them to see you

It shows up in photos, is one thing- that seems to bother a lot of people.

It just occurred to me that there isn't that much reflective on the side. Especially anything that would lead people to realise that its a bike.
