I would have started cracking on the project, too, until I caught the fine print regarding maintaing persistence of vision: <blockquote>With one spoke, total persistence at 15mph. Two spokes, 10mph. Three spokes, 7mph. (Assuming a mountain bike wheel).</blockquote> Granted, I'm sure it looks cool even when you aren't acheiving perfect POV, but a little bit of logic in the timer to account for speed differences would go a looong way...
