How do 'Lightweights for Clothing and Gear' compare to 'Power Reflectors for Wheels'? Do the wheels version work better on spokes? Other +/- of each?

Lightweights are basically reflective stickers that you iron onto clothing. I ironed them onto my daughter's backpack....they worked great!

Hi Andre, Thanks for asking. Revolights will work fine with road bike fenders. As you are riding with the Revolights, you may noticed that the upper most part of the rear lights may be partially blocked but the lights will still be completely visible. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks, The Revolights Team

Spokes don't make a real difference. The thicker spokes seem to give the wheel more strength. I have a Weed Eater, it uses a nylon line to cut. We have almost 4 acres and the terrain is very uneven. The first set of tires were too soft and fell off the rims. These have been great. Good luck

Given the similarities, I'd go with the less expensive version, with shield. You could always take off the shield if you dislike it, but it serves a use. Most of the other construction seems similar, and the one with shield has slightly larger wheels.

I found A.M.s response to be absolutely pertinent to the discussion. I'm sure the good people who work for Wald making these racks would also agree. As one who has looked closely at both of these brands I'd buy the Wald every day but one would last the life of the bike. The Sunlite is clearly inferior when viewed in person.By the way, I found your response inappropriate in a forum where people are trying to be helpful to one another.

Radbot. I own three of each because I like them both. The optics on the Superflash may be marginally better, but all three of my Superflashes have been plagued by a problem that the turn themselves off if I hit a bump. The customer service folks at Planet Bike are very good and replaced two of my SuperFlashes, but even the replacements have this problem. Also, if you neglect to change the batteries, the Radbot does have the reflector as a second line of defense.

I can't imagine there are any difference in the regs between power and sail. I say go for it. They're bright and hardly consume any energy.

My guess is that it is easier to take it on and off the handlebars. Every serious cyclist that uses a headlight uses one that can be attached and taken off the handlebars quickly and easily. You know the flashing white lights on the front of bikes that can go steady after dark that road bikers use? Those brackets around the neck usually were unwieldy and heavy. A lot of people buying this bike aren't going to use the front reflector, myself included. I put a Portland Design Works Dreadnought on my kid's bike. He uses an adult size mountain bike now with a small frame that he and I both like a lot better than this Diamondback which isn't bad for the money but not great either.

they are great beginner wheels. I've been writing for the past year with them. Oh, and don't bother with super reds. Just get some mini logos, they are made by the same company and they are cheaper and just as good.

There designed to do that. So light no need for wheels if you are using them for lighting.

when off I would not consider this a reflector. However, the batteries last a REALLY long time. I run mine anytime I ride, batteries are good for 1000 miles or more.

This is lightweight for the most part. It unfolds easily. The wheels are the only "heavy" things about it and frankly, I am 66 years old and not strong and I had no trouble getting it up to and out of my daughter's SUV. Hope this helps.

Hey Beverly.A woman should be able to wear this helmet without any problems. I have the large version and its very adjustable. I may get a small/medium if I were a woman, unless you're taller and have a larger head. I am six feet tall and have a somewhat large head and the large works well.Im not sure about mounting reflectors. I personally have found that its a little easier to put reflectors on seat posts pedals and other parts of the bike, but to each his own. All in all its a good helmet. I think you'd be happy with it in small. I came from a Giro Hex which was also a nice helmet, but this helmet has more venting and as a result keeps you quite a bit cooler in hot weather. Best of luck. Hey Beverly.A woman should be able to wear this helmet without any problems. I have the large version and its very adjustable.

I used them on a gocart. They wear pretty quickly if you drive hard. Raced about 8 total hours on a oval track and burned through them as front tires

The Standard Model doesn't perform very well on Gravel, especially when it is too loose, or too large, or the ground underneath it is not very firm. In all honesty, none of the light weight power wheelchairs with 8" rear wheels perform well on Gravel. That's because there is not enough weight to make good traction with the ground underneath. Check out the EZ Lite Cruiser Heavy Duty Model - it has LARGE 12" rear wheels that can handle gravel much better. The motors are also much more powerful (250 watt each, versus 180 watt on the Standard Model) and that can make driving over gravel easier.

I have the blue one and it works great. I got it for when my mother came to visit and it helped her get around when we went shopping. I think the burgundy may have larger wheels, not sure, but the blue works fine.
