So the first thing you need to do is get a flathead screwdriver to loosen the spokes on the inner rim or do it the easy way and just cut the spokes in half and pull them out the end.

Preparing for Paint

To apply the led strip peel off the adhesive cover and apply the led strip to the bike rim for the hook i just recycled a pop can tab and used a self tapper to secure it to the rim.

All DONE !!!
