Mr_Brick said:I need to make an impossible wheel that won't break
I made my own BC wheel from scratch (kinda). I bought the footplates
from unicycle.com for $40 and got the rest of the parts from the bike
shop I use to work at. All together, I think it cost me about $50 to
build. If you can't build one, buy one. I would stick with a 20"
wheel. Also, put skateboard griptape on those foot plates!
Check out my BC video if you want to get an idea of what my homemade BC
wheel looks like:
Here's a new technique I am using: If you're on flat ground, pump up
that tire as much as possible (at the recommended psi). That will
reduce friction and make it easier to coast. If you're going down a
relatively steep hill and it's too fast for a full tire, let out the
air until your tire flattens a little more. That will give you more
friction and grip, and thus a slower, more controlled ride. Just make
sure the rim isn't near the riding surface!
