    It takes twice the man to ride half the bike.

  2. I've heard of it done, and it is suppose to be rideable. However the
    pegs have a tendency to rotate while you ride + the BC wheel would have
    a higher center of gravity compared to a BC wheel with drop plates.
    These two factors would make the wheel more difficult to ride then a BC
    wheel with drop plates.

    Have you considered using your wheel and buying just the drop plates,
    that might be less expensive then buying the whole BC wheel.

    I don't BC wheel but that's what I have read.

    Yup. I've made on like that. I never learned to ride it, but a kid at my
    juggling club did. I don't think I'll get on a BC wheel again unless it
    has plates, though 🙂

    Cheers,
