good impossible wheel size

I'm also making a BC wheel, and since i'm kinda short because i'm only
around 12, i'm either going to use the 20 inch I have or the 16 inch.
let me know if you have any good ideas for building one.

I dont see how much it could hurt to try. If it already has pegs, all
you're doing really is taking the wheel off. If it doesnt, you're
investing in pegs that if it doesnt work, you'll be able to use again.

I found no diff between a 20 and a 24, does mean there would be no diff
between a 20 and a 16? maybe

im doing the foot pedals just like the bedford one in U2. i was just
thinking a 16" wheel would have lower center of gravity, so i dont know
if this would help but ill try anyway.

i wonder if you use lower drop platforms on a bigger wheel...would that
lower your centre of gravity and be able to roll over bigger things
easier?

I think it would

I'm about to begin making a 26" impossible wheel. I've never ridden one
before, so we shall see how it turns out. It will probably be the
trashiest impossible wheel ever.

If there was no difference between a 20 and 24, and there was no
difference between 16 and 20, then there would be no difference between
a 16 and a 24. And that doesn't quite make sense.
Maybe the difference is just very subtle....?

Two of my friends have made BC's out of 20 inch wheels. They both work
fine.

yaaa.... check the link from tony. that has pretty much all you need to
know about making the platforms. im gonna do that as soon as school
starts and i can bribe a kid from metal shop to do it.

Speaking of the center of gravity, has anyone thought about making
pedals that almost touch the ground? Wouldn't that make it like uber
easy?

Yes and no, because if you leaned even just a bit towards your left or
right the peddle pladforms would hit the ground and possibly cause some
inguries. anyway dont listen to me, I probably dont know what i'm
talking about.
