Default Building a BC?


I want to make some BC platforms for a wheel I have(currently using
pegs), but I have no clue what size, shape, or thickness of metal to
use. There seems to be quite a few designs out there, but I haven't
been able to see one up close. How much lower than the hub should the
plates be, plus how wide and how long?

I have searched the forums, haven't found anything with measurements
yet. There are 243 threads that come up when I type in anything that
contains BC wheel, that's quite a bit to go through. I have looked at a
lot of them.

Does anyone know what threads talk about this? If not, please help, I
am not looking for specific measurements, just a general Idea of what
works best.

If it dosnt break, itl work. exparement with it, if you can use a mill,
make some fairly thick plates, and mill off some metal if they seem
over kill.
