Im thinking of buying these bc wheel plates
http://tinyurl.com/2kye3h

i have a bmx rim in the garage, but i dont know how to put them on it.
Do i just place them on the hub screw and tighten up the bolts? Any
help will be appreciated thanks.

I would think you just screw them on but i am not really sure. I built
my own bc wheel out of a bmx tire and i screwed wood onto the bolts on
the sides. It was really fun and it worked fine till i jumped one time
on it really hard and one pedal broke. What i am trying to say is you
can make your own pedals out of better material then i have, but for
your question i think you just screw it on.

Any 20" front BMX wheel with the thicker style 14mm axle should work.
You just bolt the plates on nice and tight like you would bolt the
wheel to a bike fork.

You'll need a beefy axle for your BC to work well. One way to find out
if your is, is to try it and see if the axle bends after a while. I
bent my original axle with my old BC (many years ago), but my local
bike shop was able to replace just the axle while keeping the same hub.
The replacement was a 14mm axle, I believe. Thinner ones may not hold
up.

I tried a 3/8" axel, and it flexed by hand, I wouldn't even try riding
it.

i built my own to but the plates are too close to the tire and it
doesn't have grip tape or longer plates so its harder to right

I have a set of chrome plates that I can ride fine, adding to it, the
legs are quite short compared to say... Bedford plates.

ok thanks for all the advice. But the idea of breaking my axle then not
being able to use it has put me off the idea because the wheel is off a
really cheap bmx. I will save up and buy a proper one. thanks again for
the ideas.
