  4. Well, alluminum would be ligher, but it would be harder to make a wield.
    For pictures click on gallery at the top of your page and use the
    search on the left. Search for 'BC wheel' or 'BC wheel plates'. Its
    going to have to be strong, too.

  6. I can sell you some for 20 bucks Canadian, plus shipping to anywhere in
    the world.

    They are about *_7_mm_thick_* aluminum, so light but really strong.

  8. Hey. I made (or had a set made, not that it was beyond trivial to do so)
    a set out of two pieces of 4" angle iron. They're heavy, but they'll
    never bend. Guy at the machine shop just chopped em out of some spare
    metal he had lying around and put a hole in the middle.

  12. Mine are 1/4" thick steel plates and hold up amazingly well.

  13. And instead of starting a new thread, does anyone know where I can get a
    cheap BMX wheel for building myself a BC wheel? The cheapest I've
    found online is around $35.00, including shipping. I know I should be
    able to find one for cheaper (WaldoMart sells entire b*kes for $45.00).
    I don't care about quality right now. I just want cheap. Quality can
    come later after I decide if I want to continue or not.

  16. Well you want a 14mm axle or it will bend pretty quickly so if you get a
    wheel from walmart or something then it won't last very long and will
    probably just be a waste of money. Maybe look on ebay for something
    cheap though.

  18. When you say it won't hold up very well, what do you mean? I'm pretty
    light on my equipment. I ride a sun 28" and I've never had a problem
    with bending the rim.
