I removed my reflectors on my GT Timberline many years ago since I only rode trails at that time. Jump forward 15 years and I rarely leave the pavement now. No instructions were included so it took a bit of staring at the parts to figure them out, but they all work as expected. Nothing fancy at all with this kit, they reflect and hopefully keep me from getting smushed while riding in the evenings.

I have a 1992 model Schwinn Woodlands hybrid/mountain bike that I bought brand new when I was a teenager. Of course, the bike has been out of commission for quite awhile, sitting in the shed and fell into disrepair. Just recently I decided to clean it up and put it back on the road, now that I have kids of my own. Although a local bike shop tuned it up and replaced the tires and one of the shifters, it's incredibly difficult to find reflectors these days for some reason.

So, I was quite pleased when I found this kit. My front reflector was broken off, but the bracket was still there. It drove me nuts to see it this way, and yet removing the bracket seemed to be no easy task. Sure enough, this kit was just what I needed. The front reflector matches the rear exactly and fits perfectly on the bracket. My bike looks new again.

I have bought many of these Reflector Sets directly from Bike World USA to replace missing or broken ones on "old school" road bikes I've refurbished. The metal "L" shaped bracket goes on the stem or quill - the black plastic bracket goes on the seat post. The yellow reflector goes on the spokes of the front wheel. The red on the rear. How simple could it be? I'll try to post a photo or two.

The screws that came with this set didn't fit, so I had to find new screws. On top of that, one of the plastic inserts in the wheel reflectors broke while I was trying to install it. No directions and since this was my first time putting reflectors on a bike, this was frustrating. I mean, it isn't rocket science, but why not include instructions?

It arrived on time and it was ok but it will not fit my large handle bar on my Specialized mountain bike. Will need a special adaptor for large diameter bars including seat post.

Fairly standard reflector set. It came was different brackets which allowed some flexibility in choices and looks. My biggest quibble is that there weren't any instructions. As someone that has never dealt with reflectors previously it made the installation process much longer.

The package is worth the money if you are not new to biking or if you have a friend who isn't.
I am new and I spent a couple of hours trying to figure how to mount the front and rear reflectors but just couldn't.
End result: Returned the item (Sunlite 4 Piece Bicycle Reflector Set with Brackets).

These reflectors were a very reasonably-priced solution to make my bike more visible at night. (i have a used bike that had 0 reflectors)

They are however a bit funny-looking. at least, the front/back ones are a bit larger than I usually see them (about 20-30%). This isn't a bad thing though. Also, the red and orange wheel reflectors look ridiculous. Maybe I'll get used to it and think of them as unique.

overall, for $2 and some change they make me feel way safer when night riding. The mounting hardware is pretty sturdy. Sunlite makes some good stuff. I purchased some of their tubes as well and I'd gladly buy more of their products in the future.

I am very pleased with this product, they give new brackets and they look so good on 24", 26" and above bicycles. lends a classic look I like for older fine bicycle restoration. The price is very reasonable for what you get.

This is a good set of reflectors, but it doesn't fit on my bike. It will fit regular bikes with no problems. I have a hybrid type mountain bike so the frame and all are thicker than the regular bikes. Good quality.
