    Hola,

    well, i made another pair of bc plates, the exact same as my newer old
    ones.

    This time i desided to try something a little different, i tilted teh
    bases up about 3º to help keep my feet into the bolts, and to keep my
    feet from sliding off the plates in a hard landing. i tryed them out
    and it helps ALOT, you cant really feel it, though you can sure see it.
    but you can really feel our feet sliding into the plate, vs where you
    have to keep pinching your feet into the plates to stay on.

    heres a pic:

    I know it's not as sexy sounding as 4130 but wouldn't 3/8 inch gas pipe
    work just as well?

    Seriously!!! How do you not mind the axle sticking out that far. My BC
    used to be that way and I had to cut down to be able to ride.
