Order Sunlite Bicycle Spoke Beads, Set of 36

I purchased these beads for my daughter's new 16" bike. We decided to go overboard on the accessories; they're just so fun. :)

These beads are a little larger than the picture led me to believe they would be (maybe twice the size I'd imagined), and overall, I think they'd be better suited to a slightly larger bike. They do still have range of movement, even on the spokes of small 16" wheels, though less than I'd expected they would have. They also make a pleasant little click as they slide to and fro, which I think will be entertaining and exciting for my daughter's first bike ride. That's what counts.

The colors are also quite different than what is pictured, much more in the neon range, with the yellow and orange being safety-vest neon, the green and pink being super-saturated bright versions of what is pictured, and the blue and purple being much darker than what is pictured. Because of this, they're further from matching her aqua cruiser-style bike than I'd initially imagined they'd be.

They go on easily, and we bought two packs, since they were inexpensive, so we'll have enough to go around, plus a few left over for my younger daughter's trike.

They are made in Taiwan, and I generally prefer things not made in China, but hadn't really expected otherwise at the price they are offered.

All told, I like them, but wasn't 'wowed' by them, hence the 4 stars.
