Building a BC Wheel - Help!
Hi, today i bought a 20" wheel from my bike shop, hoping to make a bc wheel, it was only cheap as im only using it for a bit of fun. However i dont know what i can use for some plates, i've looked around and asked a few people, but im not quite sure what i can do. Ill post some pictures of the wheel later. -- galvin.ben Hey look!

B&Q have a look around, i got some brown angle brackets i think they were couple of quid for two, drilled the holes bigger to fit the axel, applied griptape to the base of them, jobs a good one. strong as feck. If not go into your technology department, show them a picture of what you want to make and point to the welder with a keen smile on your face -- matti_marron ------------------------------------------------------------------------ matti_marron's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14815 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62988 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

same here, but i sorta made mine WAY hardcore. they look forged. its sick. i cut a design out of the bottom of them with a cutting torch and drilled tons of holes in the back for my weight issue, then i bunnyhopped (like 2 feet first try!!!!!) and bent the axle so bad that the plates went like 1/8" from the spokes ... bent it back, and rode it nicely, then i tried a 360, almost did it and bent the axle again. you want a 14mm axle if you can find one. -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ 'my video!'

You could go to a welding shop and right out the demensions and get a picture of them. And they should be able to make some real nice ones. -- isaac steiner 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/y6mftb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ isaac steiner's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13943 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62988 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
