Default BC Wheel Rubbing on Leg when Mounting


When I get on my BC Wheel I can't stop the tire from rubbing my leg. It
is destroying my pants/661s. Does any body have something that helps
overcome this problem? Thanks

It just takes practice, there's no secret to it. Are you practicing the
skate mount?

A skate mount is when you have one foot on the plates and then push with
the other foot to get going. It's just like pushing a skateboard.

He'd better not be, if your leg is rubbing doing the skate mount
there's some nasty dismount potential with the bc acting as a lever arm
and your center of balance a foot away from the hub(especially with low
plates).

My guess is that you have a bc with pegs, not plates, and are
practicing the "hold onto pole for dear life while attempting to push
off" method? That seriously bruised my leg from just the pressure after
a few hours of practice. I've never had a real issue with the tire
rubbing; at one point it was rubbing just enough to be slightly
annoying. Just take the 661s off and see if the extra space does
anything.

A good bc wheel helps also.

Can you legwrap on a regular uni? The side/side balance shift is very
similar.
