Well, even though i said i couldnt/wouldnt bc for a while, i have been,
i kinda had to relearn it but iv got it down now, yet i have hit a bump
in the road to sucsess. I am running a Bedford Deluxe BC wheel, the
problem lays on those Damned bolts that stick out. I riped a hole in my
shoes today mounting, so i went and got a brand new pair, tryed a couple
mounts and can see the sides of my shoes starting to fray, so i stoped.
I have tryed sevral things, iv made lil aluminum plates on the sides,
those didnt work, iv tryed plexi glass plates on the side of my shoe,
those didnt work. I even tryed straping foam to the bolts, still not
sucsess. I saw that Jes Regiel cut hit bolts down about holf of what
they normaly are, i wonder if that would help my case? I am also having
alot pf pain on the sides of my feet, about ever 1 in 5-6 mounts il hit
my feet really hard and get bruises, to fix that i have been sticking
foam inside my shoes to cushin my feeet, but that still dosnt help the
fact that i rip my shoes. I was pondering makeing a pair of bc wheel
plates with no extending bolt, meerly having a short axle and having the
bolt inboard of the plates, people have told me that those bolts are the
main grip for hoping but for the little hopping i have done, i think it
can be just as easly aghived by squezing your feet on the plates,
possibly having some grip tape on the side/vertical part of the plate,
or maybe even having a small stip of metal that sticks out about 1-2mm
for grip. Any help is apresiated.
