Frame Design

Mechanical Design for the Velo Bling-Bling Frame

LED lights for bicycle wheels. 16 multi color LEDs on each side (PCB top- and bottom side). There are two windows (upper and lower) on each side for display dynamic information like speed, trip time, trip distance, etc. or static information like strings and images.

It is possible to mount the PCB direct onto the wheel spokes but it is better to use a mounting frame. This frame can be ordered from http://shapeways.com or you can print it by yourself on 3D printer.
