Help needed for the BC wheel

The answer to 2 and 3 are the same thing basically. I wrap something
around my leg like an ace bandage and then I lean the wheel into my leg
to slow down and it helps with control.

For freemounting I like the skatemount the best and thats what you are
talking about. Think about it as hopping on one foot in the beginning
and put no pressure on the foot thats on the plate. To learn maybe do
only 1 push on a hill (thats what I did to learn it).
The skatemount is cool because when you start to slow down you just
take a foot off and push again like a skateboard which answers number
1.

What BC should I get? I think I want to get a BC with a hookwork on it,
and I've heard of some Bedford big plates or somethin'. How much will
this stuff cost?

The hookworm is a scary tire on a bc wheel, it has all these little
bumps on it that are not leg friendly. The Kenda Kontact is good.

The Bedford PRO plates are nice, I like them better than the short
ones.
For prices from Bedford go to Bedfordunicycles.ca and check out the
pricelist. It is old and some of it is outdated so if you have
questions just email or call Darren.

The mini knubs dont hurt if you have a leg wrap, but do slow you down.
A lot. Good for trials riding.

What BC should I get? I have 400+ bucks to spend. Are the pro plates
long? I remember hearing that there are some new plates that are lower
or somethin from bedford.

Darren made a pair of lowered plates for spencer, He liked them, and
said he would start making all the plates that low. However this was
back a couple months ago.

The plates are 1/2" lower but it makes all the differnce.

Speaking of which, i have plates to go make.

Is it easier to ride when they're lower? If they are I'll make mine
like 2" off the ground...

That is so cheesy, it would be cake to ride but stupid.

The lowered bedfords are not noticably easier to ride because they are
lower but they are better because it puts the axle bolt in a better
place so hopping is easier and more comfortable. If yours are 2" above
the ground you would not be able to hop with the axle bolts.

Well, for learning it would be good... So far I can stand on it without
falling on my ass... that's about it.

Unless he just uses a grip strip 3.5" from the bottom of the plate.

2" from the ground is pretty freakin low, its just not needed.

I made a lowered pair for matt, they were nice, But they were only like
5/8ths lower than the lowered bedfords.

the new mbc plates are 6" tall, thats huge, but very nice for riding,
and for braking.

It works fine, should make trail riding much more enjoyable, and slower.
