Wanted: Front reflector bracket

MSeries said:

Did you ever get a new bike fitted with a front reflector
attached to the fork at the brake fixing point ? You
removed the reflector ? Do you still have the metal
bracket ? Would you like to donate it to my latest project
? I am prototyping a bracket for my front lamps, just need
a proper bracket to get me started.

I asked in Halfords once, was thinking of adding a
standard front reflector to my trike. They had a box of
spare bits including loads of brackets and reflectors and
things for attaching LED light brackets to the back of
said trike's seat.

You'll just have to pop round and have a rummage in my
spares bin, then.

Its a long way to go Guy, I have the reflectors which I don't need, in my spares bin but no brackets. I think I used the bracket on my old MTB to guard against the straddle cable catching the knobs on the tyre.

It is currently touch and go whether or not I'll be going to BikeFest. If I get a job lined up and can do my LEJOG, that's what I'll be doing. If not I'll go to BikeFest on whatever time I can spare (with no job I'll have tons of time).

Of course. You could live closer to him if you chose to. :-)

[going OT] Front reflectors are near-useless, but the
brackets are good on MTBs with cantilever brakes (if any
still exist). If the main cable brakes the straddle wire
gets caught on the bracket instead of your knobblies.

was thinking of ditching it anyway as its not needed due to
my handlebar mounted flasher and niMh lights. Its a L shaped
brackety thing with attached front reflector.. Free to a

bike went.
