    Oh that's just too practical, innovative and resourceful vs. a product you can invent, patent, market and retire to your very own island.

    I would never have thought about putting tape on the spokes! That looks so awesome! When your wheels are spinning, does it look like a solid circle of light, like on Tron?!

    They are designed for spokes. I may buy another set and put it closer to the hub so it makes 2 glowing circles of light.

    My Bob Jackson Audax Club that I built up last Summer, now has black bar tape. Could have bought a carbon or alu frame for the same money or less but went for hand-built steel.






    My steel Scott Apache that I rescued from being thrown in the dump and gave a new life as my hack/everyday/Winter/bad weather bike.
