I just went really fast down my street on my bc wheel and I was getting some massive speed wobbles and Evan just told me it's impossible to get speed wobbles on a bc. Is he wrong or is my wheel just really out of true?

*><> Unicycle For Christ <>< PM me if you would like to join!!!* ok i have been riding for 3 years, doing tricks for 6 months and being sorta hardcore for 3 months (before that the only trick i did was a hop-180 to backwards riding or a spin off of a wall or something
good idea! Spencer, I totally think you should have Evan or someone els weld you some brake brackets for your trials bc. It would be soo cool if you could static hop up stuff. That would make huge hops possible. It would be a bit pricey though.

That would be pointless, whats the point of it being a bc wheel if you are static hopping? Evan did make a BC brake a while ago, we didn't like it very much.

nah if your legs a re longer then i'd say 1.9 feet long then you could ride a 36 bc
Yes if you stand up straight, on a bc people tend to bend down sometimes to stay ballanced...ouch.

Pffffffft, I just make mine out of left over wrapping paper and orphan bones.
I've experienced speed wobbles as well. I'm sure there are a lot of factors involved (imperfections in the tire, rim, bearings, riding surface, etc.) but the biggest are probably the minor corrections that are made while riding. Each one changes the axis of rotation slightly, which can amplify into a noticeable wobble.
If you do the 'gyroscope' exercise with the wheel (hold it in your hands and spin it really fast) and do some minor twists of the wheel you can definitely feel how wobbles can be induced.
I would say an out-of-true rim would most probably contribute to wobbling, but definitely isn't the only factor involved.

Ok, thanks. That makes sense. When I go at a good speed it doesn't feel like I make any balance corrections (I can ride with my eyes closed and hands behind my back without moving) I guess there are small corrections I make without realizing it.

i am starting to use unicycles as a unit of measurement am i going insane or is it normal
no you not going insane. i have used many thing as units of measurement. i have used people as a measurment before. i also use a rating measurement. as in: this post is about a 4. it might not be out 10 but it is a way of measuring things they way i want.
