Well, we decided to break out the BC to have another go at learning.
It's coming along quite well, although it's quite clear that I'm going
to take much longer to learn to ride it than Nick, partly because he
pretty much can.
The problem is that the nuts tend to unscrew themselves in no time,
this problem was there ages ago but I didn't address it back then. We
just have to tighten it up every time before we have another go on it.
If we try to tighten it up too much, like with a spanner, then it locks
and the wheel barely spins. I think the problem is because we are just
using an old bike wheel off a really old bike, and we only have one nut
on each side. Surely the true way to have them lock in place would be a
nut on each side of the platforms so that they can lock against
eachother? Then you'd be able to tighten it up as much as you want.
Maybe I'm wrong about that, which is why I came here to ask what your
purchased BC wheels are like, or someone that at least knows what they
are like. I would try the nut on each side trick, but the axel doesn't
stick out enough for us to be able to do that 🙁
Thanks for your help in advance,
Robbie
