has anyone ever tried towing a guy on a BC wheel behind a bike? you would think someone has done it but is it actually possible to go a reasonable distance or is it to hard casue you need both hands to balance yourself, i just made a new BC wheel today and i was just woundering if it was possible.

hey how'd the new BC wheel go tom? post some pics of it. here's my one, half decent welding job by my dad with welded on grip

my plates are fine, i havent really tried them casue when i finished making my BC wheel i had to go out and that was last night so i havent really ridden it yet, im gonna go have a go in a minute see how they feel. ill get some pics when soonish, i still have to take pics of my new done up uni. those are pretty dodge welds, did your dad try to weld with the blacked out mask again?
the worlds are actually pretty good for a carpenter. they're better in person. I went for my first ride today, the furthest i got was about 30m. I had to jump off at that point cause it led to a massive downhill overlooking a small cliff. The plates are holding up just fine and BC wheeling is FUN AS.
well personally i think the welds are dodge as but thats just me, were u using a MIG or a cigarette lighter? like really, i can weld better than that and i have limited experience in welding.
Tom, the welds are actually quite good, considering your last job on your long bike, they were [censored] and barely did the job. I wouldn't go critisizing other peoples welds when yours are worse. You could definatly not weld better than that

I will bet, if you give any given person a 5 miniute desctription of how to use a welder, they can produce better welds than those.

Ev, just 'cause you're the master bait... I mean master welder, doesn't mean anyone can pick up a torch and lay down the smoothest welds.
I've been practicing gas welding off and on over the past few weeks. Even after reading a book on the subject and getting a lesson from Gerblefranklin, my welds still look like steel snot globs.
To get back to the original topic... Yeah people have towed BC,s with Bikes I towed my buddy Bryan around a while back. Try using abike with the rat trap for something to hold on to. Also, that way you can stick a camera in the trap to film if you want to. For footage try the link below.

you lost that bet right here. i think that those welds are better then what i could do with 10 minutes of instruction. me welding > "hmmm, well, i'll twist this valve here. ok, somethings wooshing. maybe i'll just have myself a smoke while i wait for this torch thing to get warmed up."
but seriously the welds on my plates are fine, they're holding my weight which is all they need to do, if people have stopped critisizing the welds now (which i wonder how you can do because my dad is a carpenter with well over 20 years experience, which is longer then some of you have been alive for) we can get back onto topic. Is it wise to learn to BC wheel with ski poles??
sorry about my obtuse post. i'll try not to anymore but this is jc
i'm the one that looks like pam anderson
don't worry i'm not a nerd
if you had the mental capacity to ignore me you'd have never had this little turd in your life's toilet
this again is going to sound like asking forgiveness but i really will stop this and i get the picture.i definitely understand and i will think before posting from now on
