I want to be all clever about it. Maybe get a pun into it too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48067 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 23:40:06 +0000 Instography 48067@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I used to see a couple of guys cycling to Edinburgh from Fife with Laurel and Hardy on the back of their jackets - Stan on the little one and Ollie on the tall guy. I think they'd look good on me and my mate for the run into work. Sheets of scotchlite would be ideal. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48066 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 23:19:59 +0000 kaputnik 48066@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just bought a couple of A4 cut-to-size-and-shape sheets of Scotchlite from Respro off of a well know internet retailer (I checked in LBS but nowhere had it in stock). It's the soft stuff for fabric rather than for frame/plastic.</p> <p>Watch this space for whatever design I come up with for my bag. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48061 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:37:44 +0000 Uberuce 48061@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, mes amis.</p> <p>Looking at the length of tape on my hi-viz, got at the car boot for a quid, I can probably undercut the online fabric folk by getting a few more of them there; I only need a metre or so for my bag and so on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48060 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:31:19 +0000 wingpig 48060@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Are there any chandlers anywhere coastal? Perhaps the workwear shop on Leith Walk?<br /> I've three rolls of retro-reflective adhesive tape on order from the internet which was supposed to turn up two days ago which will be available at PY meets as soon as I've taken what I need. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48058 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:56:54 +0000 Arellcat 48058@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have you tried <a href="http://www.profabrics.co.uk">Pro Fabrics</a> (aka Point North)? Look under Accessories &gt; Reflective Products.</p> <p>You can buy large pieces of reflective fabric, 3M Solas reflective tape (sew-on), non-3M sew-on tape in 25mm and 50mm widths, and so on. I've bought great sheets of 1000den Cordura before and they're great to deal with. You can ask for samples of various materials, too, before you place an order.</p> <p>It's not in Edinburgh, mind, but if you need some tape quickly enough, the hi-viz vests that B&amp;Q sells are pretty dirt cheap. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48053 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:15:15 +0000 Baldcyclist 48053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>EBC has some...</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f_ProductID=7311&amp;f_SupersetQRY=C292&amp;f_SortOrderID=1&amp;f_bct=c003154c003140c003576" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f_ProductID=7311&amp;f_SupersetQRY=C292&amp;f_SortOrderID=1&amp;f_bct=c003154c003140c003576</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4526#post-48051 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 19:55:20 +0000 Uberuce 48051@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>*Comes to CCE after giving up on Google*</p> <p>Does anyone know where to buy a roll of sew-on Scotchlite in Edinburgh? I'm not that familiar with sewing shops, but that seems to be the likely source.</p> <p>I'll settle for adhesive tape, which my Googling suggests is more to be found at lorry supply type places. Given what it's for I'd probably end up with enormous amounts of it, but that's the opposite of a problem; I'd simply give it away here or(subject to legal advice if anyone wants to donate some) go on a white-hat vandalism spree across the city doing things like hi-vizzing the slalom gates on the canal. </p> <p>If not, it's the interweb, but that's a faff for a one-off purchase. </p>
