gordito8me said:ok so my new design for a bc wheel is to get a freewheeling unicycle,
make it into a kangaroo, take the frame and seat off, and let the
cranks swing down. So you don't have to get plates you could get cranks
and normal pedal.
Oooorrr......Get a bc?

gordito8me said:but with this idea you wouldn't have to worry about bending plates or
anything and lowriders? who needs em you can have 150mm cranks hanging
down.
I don't to have to worry about bending plates. I also don't have to
worry about lowriders. In addition to that, i bet your run of the mill
150mm cotterless crank with that much downward and inward force would
bend much easier than a lowrider plate

your idea reminded me of this...it would at least be able to go
backwards but still weak and spinning pedals...

wow that's exactly what I was thinking of. I guess it is a pretty stupid
idea. I should just stick to unicycles.

Wow, what a blast from the past, that's exactly like the original BC
wheel I bought from Darren about 15 years ago. It's now back hanging
in Darren's shop. Before Darren invented the plate system that was
probably the best available.

It wouldn't hurt the doctor either way, just hurt you.

true but becoming lazy because the doctor wants me to quit things i
enjoy doing will hurt me even more i would say. Maybe it wont cause
more problem then i already got but well i dont want to find something
new to make me happy
