At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works.
Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed
are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally
try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just
an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product
compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

The selfie is also a strong element of that problem. It used to be that simply having a photograph of something was a clear enough indication that ...
... and not a few on other parts too. But we don't ever recheck (unless someone manages the feat of getting themselves sentenced to a driving ban)...
You can actually buy Black reflective tape (which weirdly reflects white) and Green replective tape that reflects, erm Green, so if they wanted to...
