  1. im gonna make a BC wheel and I would like help on sizes for the foot
    plates.

    ie. How long, how high, if im using a 14mm axel how big a hole do i
    want, what metal.

    Yeah I know most of those things above can vary but just put a good
    size.

    Also Once the plates are made how do you attach them to the wheel??

    Thanks

    Yes, madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober and you will
    still be ugly.

  2. 15mm hole should be about right. the rest is kind of preference and you
    should probably just measure your shoe. long plates shouldn't be too
    long that your whole foot is on it, but the majority of your foot
    should fit with more toe hanging off than heel. no idea for short
    plates.

  3. as for the height you want to have it just bigger than where you the top
    of you foot would rest (for jumping)
    also you could do what Spenser does and put a layer of foam and duct
    tape around the bolt so you can jump better and not kill you feet on
    the bolt
    the height is really preference and shoe size

    for short ones they are about 2.5 in wide and 3.5 in jutting out
    the longs ones are about double that at 5 or 6 in

    I DO NOT HAVE A BC, THIS IS ALL JUST APPROX.

    PS. PM Spenser, he's online fairly often (and I might be spelling his
    name wrong)
