well every time i do it they end up breaking, so i just turn until they snap, this would be good to know for the future reference though

untention your spokes so they are loose and then twist them sideways REALLY hard and dont worry if the spoke bends you dont need spokes anyways Big Grin

no actually what you do is screwdriver in the middle righty tighty so turn right on the screwdriver till it snaps or they might be clip on so go tot he other side and theres two little tabs that are holding it on push them in with a needle nose plyers or somthing

Legally(atleast in canada) ALL bikes must come with reflectors, 'real bike' or not.

With a hammer, foot, mallet, rock, log, practically any hard, blunt object works. Wink

you just take pliers and squish the two flanges in the middle of it together then the reflector just pops off. it took me about 1 min to figure this out when i took mine off
