  1. Hey,
    Darren Bedford made me some really awesome BC wheel plate prototypes.
    These are just like the normal PRO plates except they are dropped down
    about an extra 1/2" I think.

    The extra drop helps hops alot and it puts the bolt ontop of my foot
    rather than into the side. It makes it so I don't have to squeeze my
    feet to hop.

    Not sure, I will tell you if I find a scale. They are almost exactly
    the same as the normal PRO plates in weight, I guess technically they
    do weigh more but not enough to notice.

  5. They look great.

    But that does not look like you with the hair cut thing....

    Hmm, my Nimbus plates have the bolt exactly on top of my foot. (which
    makes the other holes below it useless) What's the measurment from..
    hole to plate?

    that's what I was thinking too.

    They look great. I think when ever I end up getting a bc wheel I'll
    get those plates because I like the idea of the bolt being on top of
    the foot.

    I just tried to measure, I decided that it was -about-3 3/16" give or
    take a little bit😉

    These are just prototypes so they aren't being sold, well at least not
    yet. I am not sure if Darren is planning on selling them in the future.

    Do you mean width wise or the thickness of the metal?

    Of course they do. I am just more used to riding the 24" and the axle
    is longer so it goes farther over my foot.
    I will put them on my trials bc this weekend just to play around.

  18. im talkin the width, i wish they were wider...so the outsides of my
    shoes were not hanging off the sides so much. GB4 plates are about a
    full inch wider.

    Mine are 33/8ths" from the plate to the middle of the axle bolt.

    But Bedford is stronger and better and everything. 🙂
