  1. I've been checking out the Komando plates from Dans Comp but I was
    wondering if Plexiglass would work just as well a Lexan or metal. with
    home made metal plates, you have to take the pins off. with a
    lexan/plexiglass one, you could make little holes for the pins because
    plates are brobably not verry good for trials. Any suggestions?

  2. Let me help you then :p
    I say, don't make plexi grindplates, the wear out VERY soon and don't
    slide that good.
    I tried a sort a lexan to and the same about that one.
    Make some of metal.

  3. I used plastic cutting board material. And please do a search before
    making threads. I just did a search for "grind plate" and came up with
    all this:

    Not to mention the tutorial on how to make grind plates on
    unicycletips.com 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/2bpovj)

    http://tinyurl.com/yuktt3

    This is all among about 6 other pages full of threads on grind plates.

    Anyway, I made mine out of a plastic cutting board as did my cousin.
    They both work great.

  4. Nice lecture, but none of those threads actually talked about making
    plexiglass plates.

  6. I've heard that you can grind without plates on Magnesium pedals. Is
    that true?

  9. i made a bolt on metal grindplate but i dont think it helps much
    pinless pedals work just as good although the plate makes it weighted
    so it stays down, but i still manage to catch it up sometimes. i think
    its just extra weight. ill try tog et pics but i dunno how to post them
    and all that.

  10. use cutting board its cheap and you can attach it with zip ties or just
    melt it with a blow torch and stick it on like longboard slideing
    gloves
