Default bling'd my new mountain bike with flashy LEDs already

well I got my new mountain bike (Trek 4300 disc) on friday and already I've added a bit of colour to it.. with the help of some flashy LED thingies.

to the front wheel I've added a Hokey Spoke,

to the rear wheel a TxFlare (this does read scoobynet.com but it doesn't show up that well on the vid clip off my camera) IMO it looks dead chavtastic but its better to be seen than not.
You can edit what it says with 6 different messages with upto 16 digits - numbers or letter,



you get the idea how it fits on the spokes?



you likey too?

You've just taken the CockLink from your dashboard and attached it to your wheel - you cannot kid us!!

Someone braver than me would say that it is more use on a pedal bike - but, I'm not going to say anything like that!

cool - I might get one for the night laps at Sleepless. I wanted one of the multi-siren things but the ones at Halfords looked like they wouldn't last 1 lap.
It's good to take racing seriously

Just make sure it's secure. Had a normal wheel reflector come loose whilst riding, it turned sideways, caught on the chainstay, and proceeded to bust several spokes in the wheel. Doh!

Hence I don't have them fitted anymore

Similar thing happened to ChrisB in a race when I was right behind him. I was showered in shards of plastic


Phil - only you could pull it off mate!
