Re: Bc fourm

the normal plates are short, and the pro plates are alot longer. Bedford
should be selling some lowered pro plates soon, and those are awesome.

the difference from the standard bc and the street BC, is the the
standard has a non sealed hub, a double walled rim, and short plates.
the pro street has a triple walled rim, a sealed hub, and pro plates.

so is it worth it to pay twice as much for the street version?

If that.

AnOldCripple:

Whoa whoa whoa, stay AWAY from those rims. Those are race rims, They
take 1 1/8 tires, Thats sooo tiny. The rims cant take much either. Youd
only want that if you were using it just for going fast.

I think that BC plate style that evan ismaking is going to be the
standard soon. Mine have a 5" drop from the bolt and they are LIGHT!
Plus if I want them a bit higher, I can simply add a thin plate to the
top of the foot bars, which can easily be attached and removed.

I think your plates are lowered too much, you want the bolt way closer
to your foot. If you try to hop you will either have to squeeze really
hard on the sides or your feet will come off the plates a few inches.

That is if your using a bolt. you could add a second bolt or metal
strip.

I came up with an idea for something that attaches to the axle bolt;
it's drop is adjustable to fit your foot *and* the curvature of the top
of your foot. It's spring-loaded and so it's not as rigid or
uncomfortable the axle bolt, and is used soley for hopping. I'll be
posting pics asap.

Yay BCing! I can hop and drop curbs now. Its awesome 😉 ! But, its fall
here and the leaves are, well, falling. Its also been wet and cold so I
haven't been riding at all for the past little while. I can't wait for
the weather to get nicer. That will rock!

Its not going to get warmer, just dryer 🙂

-30C. Thats under 0F.

Having gone out in both I would much rather the times I have gone out
riding in -30 than going out in 40 degree heat.

Plus I learned how to ride a BC wheel in the winter, the icy parts of
the roads were actualy better than the snowy parts of the road XD

how about putting a handlebar on bc like a bigger fork so that you can
stand with one foot and go with another while you are holding for that
handle

Mike has a handlebar bc. I like to try to keep the bc as close to its
original design as possible. The brake was pushing it though. Tire
guard is df pushing it, but it could help SOO much stuff i dont care.
