leightweight bc

mornish said:

I was looking around on danscomp, and because I was bored, figured out
how heavy a street bc would be.

It ended up as 5 pounds:eek:
and $385!!!

5 pounds, thats light.

My tryall 26" bc, whichs is insanly light, is 6 pounds with plates. My
trials 19" bc is 8 pounds with plates, and i suspect a trials bc with
bedford plates is around 10-12 pounds.

Where did you get 385 from? is that with plates? You dont need to pay
385 for a bc. If your paying more than 180 for a wheel you are getting
ripped. you can get a NICE 20" wheel for 140.

Have you decided which wheel size you are going to use? If you have
chosen 20", well, *Smack*.

^^^^^^^^^^your trials?

evan: I'm almost positie I'm going to get the trials BC. One question
though, is going down the extra 4 inches for hand on wheel stuff on a
20" insanely harder?

the leightweight one had a magnesium hub w/ 14mm axel, 48 titanium
spokes, Koxx-one drilled rim, and the Koxx-one tire.
also, There's no way I would get that, It was just fun figuring out
because I was bored.

Yes, bending down the extra 4-6" will ruin all hands on tire tricks.

There is no point in getting such a expencive bc, you dont want TI
spokes, Or a mag Hub.

Just use a KH rim, dt spokes, Hazard hub and echo tire.

have you tried the tryall on a bc? I looks like it would be great
because in the picture on renegadejuggling it looks like there's no
grip on the sides.

Though i did say in another thread to buy quality parts, i didnt mean
spend all your parents money on something you will probobly give up
when trying to learn how to ride.

I ride the tryall 26" tire on my bc. The tread is a little different
than on the mod tire. Most tires are going to bite you, just because
teh sidewalls are smooth dosnt mean it wont bite. I would suggest you
get a 20" with a high psi tire, and that will cancel out any speed loss
due to tire bites.
