And I'll start it off :p

Im getting Bedford Long Plates for a 16" wheel.. Will the plates be too
long and always hit the ground?

And is a 16" wheel good for a BC wheel? (I wanted a small wheel so I
can carry it around easier and stuff :D )
Also.. Will a KH street saddle fit on a dx seatpost?

i think KH and DX have the same style base, so yeah it should work.
(thats all i can say for you srry:eek: )
and my question: (yea,plz dont rag me because i also asked in the Brag
Thread)
does anyone have any tips for transitioning from hopping on the tire,
like after i do a 90 unispin, back to the cranks. i can get _to_ the
tire but not _back_ to the cranks/pedals:(

spin it either way another 90degrees and put your feet down. it is
kinda wierd at first but not too hard once you get it
another way is too step down, but it weird and you want the first
footdown to push the wheel so it pushes the other foot into the frame

Since nobody is answering my questions anywhere else.. :p
Will a viscount saddle fit on a DX seatpost?
And are they good saddles for Muni? (If not, are they good for trials
and street?)
And I might be able to add a handle

Do you know what companies make 36" unis?

I want my local store to order one, but they need the manufacturer.
