Oh, this is way off. That’s better. Somebody left this here. This doesn’t seem safe. Okay, now we’re good. Why is there an extra gear here? [Music] Oo, somebody should call this a dork disc. Now she’s sexy as hell. She’s brush ready.
bro my dad is actually so annoying, he claims that I NEED to have those on my bike, or i cant ride it. and Iv tried telling him that I'm never going to be riding my bike at fricking midnight, but he still cant stop saying how i have to have it, and its so annoying
That's ok if you're a serious cyclist, and plan on using lights, but I see a lot of recreational cyclists riding at night with no lights, no reflectors, and it's extremely dangerous because they're basically invisible..
I can sooo relate to this!!! But I do run Daytime lights to be visible in the day and at night. Changed my chainring to a bigger size and got slick tires, so my XC bike would be race ready. And yes, your bike is definitely Sexy as Hell sir! 🤣
3M reflective tape is 1000x better anyways, and it doubles as a paint protector. Then of course wear neon green, yellow or orange vest from a thrift store. If you want to use a light I suggest you use whatever those lifted trucks use, what is it like 10,000,000,000,000 lumens??? Just need to strap a small nuclear reactor in a backpack. This way if you get hit, everyone within 500 miles gets hit. Win-Win!
A Bike must have a White Front Reflector, a Red Rear Reflector, a Orange Reflector on each wheel, Pedal Refelectors, Chaingaurd, and lastly a Horn or Bell, or its not compliant, and you can get a fine
it took me a few slashes of a axe, a couple kicks, and then a 15 foot drop to get my dork disk off, meanwhile with the reflectors they just popped off after a ride at the pump track
The only "street" accessory I have on my bike is a good old bell. Takes no space nor weight, helps when you wanna signal hikers or other riders you're coming
I got reflective tires and added a few reflective strips to the frame. I want to be visible. I don't care about a few hundred extra grams. I'm not racing anyone anyway, and I've recently lost 15kg. So compared to previously, my bike weights NOTHING, haha.

Violation to bicycle law.
Should have cut to him riding at dusk and getting hit by a car 😂
If you wear black and remove reflectors, I have an excuse in court.
Nice work!
I finally took off the stock crap after 2 years with my bike. Why I didn't do it sooner, IDK 😂
The dork disc. The most pointless invention ever
I do this too, but I saw a guy with reflective spokes the other day and that’s all I think about anymore

You forgot your brakes
Cinematic, photogenic, Rob coming straight at Ya!
I pro scoot and yeah stickers gone,, brake gone we good😂😂
Same! But I left the dork disc on my recent purchase. I’m testing to see if helps keep my rear brakes cleaner especially for wet rides.

Agree😂
Never take off the dork disc never
Remove the saddle while you're at it too.
Real bike fans remove extra weight!!!!
That's exactly what I do when I get a new bike!
Bicycle should has lights, reflectors on the wheel, ring, fenders and trunk. And I am wondering about the fan wheel lights.
100%
I took reflectors from off of my mates bike at school once and I got a whole day of isolation for it
By removing those, you get +10 hp
got a 1500 dollar bike from a shop it had that mess and a bloody bell, all removed right away.
If only the dork disk was that easy to remove 😂
I still do this and I’m 40. Lol. It’s a thing that stuck with me since 1995, when I got my first mountain bike. It was a Huffy. Lol.

I leave my dorkdisk on to trigger other MTBers. Fun.
Me literally every single bike…
