  1. ok I have no clue where I should put this but I am going to put it here
    and I think it will get the most views and replys here. Ok what would
    be better for me and what I want to do. I want to be able to do
    street, skate park, off road riding, flatland, maybe trials, and
    downhill. now that I told you what I would sort of like to do, what bc
    woud be a good all around bc for me. A regular 24", a regular 20", or a
    20" trials bc. thanks for the help

    I would say a mod trials. You definately do not want a bmx wheel for any
    offroad. I think a mod is more manuverable than a 24".

    You kind of just rattled off every kind of BC style possible so you
    will have to make some sacrifices. A mod would be best in my opinion.

    Im going to have to dis agree with spencer here for a second. I would
    say a bmx bc is your best bet for urban riding. With a mod bc, you are
    limmited to 2.5" knobby, 40 psi max tires. With the bmx bc, you have
    hundreds of tires to choose from, in many differnt styles. You can use
    slick tires, knobby tires, high psi, low psi, wide, skinny. Any in any
    combination.

    Some of you may have seen spencers bc tire that we shaved. If you want
    a tire like that, and the abbility to switch to a high psi bmx tire,
    try this:

    $20, 3gbike.com Im getting one for myself, il post the results.

    ok. I will probably go with the trials and then get another one for
    the other stuff if I like it and then if I like it enough it would be
    like unicycles and they just keep addding up. thanks for the help
    people

  6. nevermind what i said about getting the trials because i thing I am
    going to get a regular one and put a maxxis max daddy tire on it
    because I will do more park, street, and on rode type of stuff and then
    if I like it get a trials bc. I figured this way it would be cheapier
    if I didn't like it and i would do more with this one then I would do
    with a trials bc.

  9. ok. since I have a thread in here and in the product review on witch BC
    i should get I figured I would post my question here since it would be
    seen more. Ok my question is: Is it worth the extra $20 for the pro
    bedford plates from the original or is it not.

    edit/ps: I guess my choices went from those 4 to the first two

  10. Depends if you want long or short plates. Im getting used to the short
    ones. The PROs are better if you want longer ones.

  11. I think i am going to go with the short ones and then in the future when
    the lowered bedford plates come out get a better wheel and the dropped
    plates
