Reflective spoke stickers: Spokes

Create fascinating spoke effects 

One of our most popular items is the Reflective SPOKES. This product contains 30 reflective adhesive strips in different lengths and therefore many possibilities to create great effects in the front and rear wheels. Four different color themes give you the choice of whether you want it to be subtle or gaudy. One set is enough for a whole bike. By individually cutting the strips, you can increase the number of spokes to be glued. In our guide, we also have tips on how you can create certain effects when driving in the dark. There are no limits to individuality here.

If you have a sure instinct, you will be rewarded with a great result

Small notches help you place the reflective strips along the spokes, then you wrap them around the spokes. The process definitely requires a bit of finesse! But don't get discouraged after the first spoke if something gets stuck. If you have a bit of patience, you will definitely be rewarded with a great result! Thorough preparation (with grease-dissolving cleaning agent) of the spokes before applying the spoke stickers is crucial! So yes, proper cleaning is announced...

Long durability due to industrial quality

In contrast to regular spoke clips, whose rough surface often collects dirt that influences the intensity of reflection, the stickers can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth, so that there is no loss of visibility. The reflective strips are made of scratch-resistant industrial film with a weather-resistant surface that can withstand any weather.

Why is the product so great? Lateral visibility is essential in the dark and rotating reflectors are therefore an effective way to attract attention. And if you don't want to make any visual changes to your beloved frame, you'll find a useful companion in the SPOKES. Not for nothing an absolute bestseller from our range.

Important: The stickers are not approved according to §67 of the StVZO!

30 reflective stripes in 15mm width of different lengths (2-15cm)

The stickers consist of a reflective film from the traffic safety sector, which is used for warning markings, traffic signs and information signs outdoors. The reflective foil meets the requirements of EN12899-1 and is characterized by its durability and absolute resistance to weathering, corrosion and solvents. Temperatures from -50° to +80° Celsius do not affect the material.

The retro reflection is created by tiny glass spheres that are attached to a transparent plastic layer and reflect the light back to the source. The surface is made of alkyd resin, the adhesive is made of solvent polyacrylate. The full reflection properties are guaranteed for at least 7 years.

The printed colors are UV-resistant and scratch-resistant, i.e. no fading due to sunlight or color loss due to weather or everyday stress.

The thickness of the stickers is around 0.1mm.

Area of application for the stickers are smooth solid surfaces. The substrate must be dry and free from grease and dirt particles. This is particularly relevant when gluing on spokes, since a lot of dirt collects here. Even with new spokes, you should not do without a thorough cleaning, as the surface is often covered with a layer of grease that does not allow the stickers to stick!
It is therefore certainly helpful to use strong degreasing agents on spokes.

The notches on the sticker elements help with placement along the spoke. Then you first wrap the short side around the spoke, then the long side.

The outside temperature when gluing must not fall below 10° Celsius and ideally corresponds to room temperature.
After 1-2 days, the adhesive connects to the substrate until maximum adhesion is reached. Removing the stickers turns out to be a clever fiddling around. When removing, mechanical action helps better than chemicals.

After the stickers have been properly applied, you can sit back and relax. Bad weather doesn't bother them. If it gets dirty, you can wipe the film off with water or commercially available cleaners without hesitation.

The production site for the raw material is in Brandenburg, further processing takes place in Berlin, including with the help of workshops for people with disabilities, and we take care of the shipping ourselves from our headquarters in Prenzlauer Berg. We can thus map our value chain completely regionally. It is within a 35km radius of our store.
