    Default Anyone in Switzerland?

    Here's an odd one:

    If you go into a LBS in Switzerland and look at a sub-600CHF bike what wheel reflectors will you see? Amber or clear?

    No joke, I emailed Cateye (not the US division, the OEM reflector division) and their response was "We don't know the regulations for Switzerland."

    So I emailed a connection at a trading company. Same basic response.
    Emailed another connection at an assembly factory (producing for the EU). Same thing.

    The strange thing is that Cateye, trading co + assembly factory can give me a spreadsheet that lists European countries and the regulations they're subject to (ISO 4210 or something else) but Switzerland doesn't appear on those spreadsheets.



    Just knowing amber or clear points me in the right direction. Thanks.

    According to my friend in Zurich. White in front. Red on back and amber on pedals. Clear on wheels.

    Let me have a look at our local laws...I think these side relfectors requirements have been deprecated recently but I'm not sure.

    I checked: amber it is (orange according to the laws) for pedals and wheel reflectors.

    The bell is no longer required and handlebar aren't limited anymore to 70cm wide since 2017.
