  1. my little bro has a bmx from like the 80s and I wanna make an impossible
    wheel out of it and it has 16" wheels, im wondering if a smaller wheel
    would be easier to ride? what would you reccomend?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  9. 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.

  12. 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?

  13. 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.
