Rim lights

[BranNwebster]

I want a light for my rims that make them glow like in the Tron movie. You would think an easy LED on the valve stem type thing would already be available.

If not I'm the inventor and this is proof.:Flip:

They are, Had a set on for awhile. The service manager at by bike shop told me that at hi speeds they can cause your valve stems to come apart. He said it happen to a guy last year and tire went flat fast and he lost it. Took mine off.

they just screw on to the valve and are activated by the wheel turning

What about some reflective tape around the rim of the wheel.

I've done both the lighted valve stems and reflective rim tape. I bought two different types of valve stems, worked semi-okay, both seemed to break easily. Won't waste my money with that again.

I put on reflective rim tape. I purchased black to match my rims, so in the daylight, you can't see it. But at night, very noticable. The leftover tape was put onto my helmet.

Tron was so ahead of it's time, one of my favorite movies ever.

I'm a geek. And geeks rule :rockon:

I think glowing wheels would look cool and maybe a light around the engine or something. But to glow red would be very cool and more visible.
