Need recommendation for adhesive for fork reflectors

Post by ICBMguy »

So after a few moves and an unbelievably hot summer (even in the garage) one of the reflectors on my front forks decided it would rather live on the floor. Any recommendations on an adhesive to use to re-attach it?

3M makes an auto trim tape available at auto stores. I stuck my reflectors on with it and use it for wheel weights as well.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Gorilla brand superglue did the trick. Holding strong for over a year now!

Right On - the 3M auto trim tape double sided adhesive tape...Nothing like it and available at all automotive stores. Just cut it to fit the back of the reflector, wipe the back of the reflector and the fork tube with alcohol wipe and stick it on.
