    BC Wheel == Impossible Wheel
    they're the -same thing-....but anyway.

    that's a pretty good one. though I suggest you try to make or buy
    platforms instead of pegs.

    what are you talking about?

    a imposible wheel is a uni without a fork and seat with cranks
    a b.c. is this which has two pegs and you dont pedal

  7. Actually;

    Ultimate Wheel = Just a wheel, with pedals (no frame/saddle)
    Impossible/BC Wheel = Wheel with pegs/drop plates.

    Loose.

    NO!

    James is right.

    An ULTIMATE Wheel is basically a unicycle without a frame and saddle. An
    IMPOSSIBLE Wheel, has either plates or pegs, and freewheels.

    I made a diagram for the illiterates...

    It will but it will be harder to ride than a built UQ because of the
    distance of the pedals from the wheel

  15. Yes. I have tryed 2 ride it but im not very good the furthest ive gone
    is about 5 meters. i reckon its harder than normal because it has pegs
    instead of plates. Also ive put it back on my bike because i need my
    bike for my paper round.

    woody, in the few posts you've made, you haven't really said one nice
    thing.

    gary, you ought to make some plates, or buy some cos then it would be
    well good. 5 metres is pretty good, keep practising if you take it back
    off your bike.
