searched bc wheel. Thanks.

Find out what size axle your BMX wheel has. Standard BMX wheels have a
3/8" axle which is not strong enough for use as a BC wheel. When you
stand on the platforms the axle will bend and you'll very quickly end up
with droopy platforms. You need to go with the larger 14 mm BMX axle.

A bike shop will be able to tell you which size axle you have.

If you do use the 3/8" axle just be prepared for the axle to bend
eventually after a period of use.

OK, I found this gallery. He has made his own Bc wheel. It is joemc's
gallery. Hope u don't mind me postin it. It is
http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albuu71

I see that he made is own footplates. I have found a piece of material
like that. Now what do i do. After i cut them out how big should i make
the hole? Also will it slow it down by the footplates resting on the
axle? Just wondering.

Glad to help.

If you got the link to the gallery you posted previously from a thread.
Go to that thread and to the original post. Then click on the PM button
and send the guy an email.

Sometimes riders post for a while on the message board and then stop
monitoring it. So, they won't see this tread. If they set up their
profile with a current email address, you may be in luck and you can ask
the person directly if nothing happens in this thread.

Good luck!

I'm still here, (I need to change my listed email address)

Footplates-
I used 4" box section, and chopped out an 'L' shaped piece. I left the
foot bit as wide as I could (i.e. 4"😉, and left the upright also as tall
as I could. As long as the holes are the same height in both plates, and
roughly in the middle, they will be fine.
Oh, and don't use a plastic mag wheel, as there's no weight in the rim,
so it won't roll along by itself very well.
