Bc is growing. Are you in?
I'm planning of building a BC sometime this winter. I've got a good wheel I just need some plates. I haven't decided if I'll make my own or buy some. I've never ridden a BC but it looks like fun! -- glj Mr. Grant L.

johnfoss wrote: I think I made my BC wheel in 1986. It has a 24" blue Miyata rim and a red alloy BMX hub. And spokey-dokes. Originally it had a pair of moped footpegs, but those eventually fell apart. Now I have some simple plates Zack Baldwin made for me a while back. But my bearings are pretty crapped out. Eventually I'll get a purpose-built BC. I can spin on one, pirouette briefly at the center and come out backwards. vid? i have bc bu i don't drive it becoue you can't effectivly do anything, it is fun to learn by the tume my ultra strong, capable of droping, free coaster uni is d0ne you can say bye bye bc -- apadoxhr 10: apadox is legend; 20: GOTO10; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ apadoxhr's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11084 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54486 |

straight up. i have two. a 20 in. demolition rim(its ok) with an odessy hazard hub and holy roller tire, plates are home made and are working well. and i have a 24 in. alex rim also with the hazard hub and then it just has a generic type no name tire from k-mart or something. this one also has self made plates. on the 24 i can ride some fireroad and singletrack with small drops. on the 20 i can mostly just ride around the skatepark and catch air off of stuff. i can kinda grind this low rail at a local skatepark, but i have had trouble getting enough speed to grind the whole thing. -- unisteez If trees could scream would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?

I don't BC, or have a BC wheel. However, I wouldn't mind building one up and giving it a shot. Someone wouldn't mind telling me any differences between a 19" and a 20" BC wheel? Apart from the fatter tyre of a trials tyre having greater chance of rubbing against your calves, is there really much else to it between the main 2 sizes? I personally wouldn't mind a Try-All BC myself [image: http://www.unicyclejester.com/galler.../IMG_5383.jpg] -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add, I'm always up for a good chat and get to know other unicyclists *coming soon: the Joe Hodges trials video... and shorter one-day vids from sponge&joe in the near future!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54486 |

I just rode one for the first time yesterday and i loved it! I rode about 40 feet twice. I really want one cause I dont have my own, I rode my friend's. Btw do you guys think I should get the Koxx Devil Blueberry Uni or a Bedford BC? I have 150 dollars and I could either buy a BC now or wait till Christmas and get the Koxx. I dont know, but lately all I've been thinkin bout is BC'in, but I really need a trials/street uni. -- foforackard UNICYCLE FOR CHRIST Unibiker for life!!!!! http://www.unicycle.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ foforackard's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13413 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54486 |

I ride my friends BC. Its a basic 20 inch rim and hub from the front of a bike. With really heavy steel plates made for them. The plates haven't bent, and the axle hasn't bent. All I can do is ride around so far. I am getting better. -- Jerrick ~*~!I ride for Christ, Fun, Challenges, and a lot more!~*~ '!Gallery!' (http://tinyurl.com/gf2g9) '!MRIS!'

I have a regular bedford bc wheel with pro plate ( long ) with a blue tire and glow in the dark grip tape but I don't ride it. I don't like riding a bc wheel. I may sell it for a cheap price one day if someone is interested. -- kapoute Love Julien Renaud ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kapoute's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8060 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54486 |
