  1. Well, today i decided to buckle down and get to work and finding things
    for my BC. So i went into my garage and found that the only tire i had
    was a 26" MTB tire. That was a little diheartinging, but i decided to
    make do. Now all i need was some plates, so my stepdad took me out to
    look for stuff. I took us about 2 hours to find out excatly what I was
    looking for.

    It turned out that the perfect bc plate was a thing that is supposed to
    hold big doors together, those were about 9 bucks each. I also got some
    washers and lock washers and once i got home i put it together in about
    10 minutes.

    Over all it was about 23 bucks... quite the steal if you ask me

    This is the finshes result... sorry i have a bad cemera

    Plates look kinda short, at least from the angle in the second picture.
    Is that an average length? Looks like it'd tear up your ankle.

    The plates are i think they same size as evans... plenty long enough

    I am not sure i think around 7mm

    yeah they look pretty thin in the picture.. but they are way strong

  7. Nice! That should be an excellent wheel for coasing long distances at
    high speeds. Tell us how it holds up after a couple of days.

  12. I made my own BC wheel out of an old bmx wheel. Its silver near the tire
    because it was off of a bike that was stolen by gypos and ridden with
    no tires on. I whipped out the angle grinder and smoothed it off
    again. The plates are 3mm steel. I have done drops of about 1ft on it,
    but as you can see the plates are bending! Pics 'Here'
    (http://pics-66.hi5.com/userpics/666/130/130961666.img.jpg) and 'Here'

    Hey, I've looked at those before, but they were $10 each and didn't
    look like they'd fit very well. So I didn't get them. Maybe I should
    look around some more and make myself a BC..
