Hello I just got an idea that it would be cool if I make a BC uni. So, Im wondering now, what to use instead of foot plates. I just want to convert my old uni into a bc one. I was wondering if i used the pegs like on a BMX. But, have anyone tried that? Are the pegs welded to the wheel somehow, or can they spin freely, so I can put my feet on?

Now I'm going tosit back and watch a 15 and a 16 year old discuss the concept 'childish'. Should be fun.
just use the front wheel from a freekin BMX! -you get your freewheel, rim, tyre, axle, and pegs. then you take the fork that that wheel was bolted to and you have a frame. stick your unicycle seat on there and you are all set.

I was thinking something like the glider uni thread. Just instead of welding the plates on the frames, I would use BMX pegs I would buy somewhere and fortunately install them instead of pedals.
kk, well i made a BC wheel with my BMX pegs, it would work ok, but, i have a 24 inch wheel and i cant keep without hitting my upper legs, so im moving down to a 20 inch when my dad and i go out to a bike shop.

Actually I've forgotten my train of thought as to why horizontal balance would be more difficult, but pegs would be much less stable for the same reason that Bedford Lowrider plates are more stable than higher plates; something about the Lowriders being farther from the axle. I think it's the same reason that balancing a long object on your hand, such as an oar, is easier than balancing a pencil on your hand, and why a giraffe is easier to balance than a smaller unicycle.
k, im exited, we are (my dad and I) are getting a 20 inch free rolling wheel, then we have extra peddles, then making a little bar out of steel, then attatching the peddles. Here is a pic of what it will be, well a version of it!!!
