I noticed I've been starting a lot of threads recently, I gotta stop soon.

Haven't seen much about this question I have.

I know it's unsafe, but I want to take off the reflectors located near the tires on my bike. I noticed the ones at the rear, you have to go under the tail to see it, you have to unscrew 2 screws. Problem is, to screw it off, I can't use a screwdriver, flathead, hex key,etc etc.

It's basically a tiny circle, with 3 slits spread apart evenly. I need to buy that tip, so if I go to a hardware store, what do I ask for?

 

are you sure its not a tamper-proof torx?

 

I took a hack saw and a grinder to mine, then painted the grind marks

 

all i did was drill the head off, problem solved.[8D]

 

Yeah i had to grind/drill mine off too. I don't think there was a bit specifically for those two connection points you are talking about; but then again, I could be wrong.

 

You could also take a dremel to it, and put a slot in the head of the screw, then just use a flat head screwdriver to unscrew it...
