JSTootell on June 12, 2025 4:18 am I don’t see an issue as long as the ambient lighting doesn’t effect your ability to see where you are going.
jumpinjehoshophat on June 12, 2025 4:18 am I have a friend who was working on a project thats the next step to this sort of thing. Get yourself some blacklight/IR/UV absorbing glow paint and paint your wheel rims, fancy patterns or just cover them.. Create a battery operated UV LED that is mounted on your fork or rear seat stays to light up that paint while the wheel rotates. Profit
