I recently put a Wahoo on my handlebars. With the bike computer, light, and reflector … it’s getting a little crowded up there. What should I do? Remove the reflector? I don’t ride at night and always have the light, so technically it’s not illegal. Other options?

I’d lose the reflector. Could try to mount the light under the computer if you really wanted but probably not worth the effort.
I’d ditch the reflector, it’s useless in the daytime, and, as far as being “illegal”, I would doubt that any cyclist in America has ever been ticketed for lack of a front reflector.
Reflector can go. Now you need an action camera mount. 😁
You could try to acquire a [handlebar accessory mount](https://velo-orange.com/collections/lighting/products/handlebar-accessory-mount?variant=13617954816049).
They’re sold out at VO, but maybe you can grab one on Ebay.
Ditch the reflector. They make integrated light and computer mounts
You can always peel back the bar tape a bit.
Look into a blender stem system from trek/bontrager. Hopefully the light has an attachment for the system. They look very clean, although they’re not the cheapest.
No bell? You still have some space
I have out in front mounts for both computer and lights (with Garmin style attachments) which helps with this.
Ditch the reflector. It doesn’t do anything for you.
If a car is too distracted to see a flashing white light, it sure as hell won’t see the subtle glint from the reflector.
You can most likely get a mount to mount your light under the head unit, rather than next to.
Lose the reflector. You need to have either a reflector or a light and the light is better.
If you want to clean things up more, there are several lights out there (I like Light&Motion) which have Go-Pro mount adapters and you can get a computer mount with Go-Pro lugs underneath.
If you want a nice, low profile bell, check out the ones from Knog. The ones with the metal clappers are worth the extra money.
I don’t want to be mean but come on, do you really need advice for this from the internet lol take off the reflector and then if you really want to clean things up, get a front light that’s compatible with a GoPro mount and get a GPS-GoPro mount combo and stick the light under the GPS
Repeat. Ditch the reflector
Daisy chain a few of these and live life on your own terms

Need a bell 😭😂
If your Wahoo has a GoPro style mount underneath, you can attach the light with [this accessory](https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/bike-accessories/bike-lights/bike-light-accessories/bike-light-brackets-mounts/bontrager-blendr-universal-light-mount/p/26815/)
