  3. Nice! Looks like you got it figured out.

    You may want to consider a fender to prevent getting an embarrassing
    road spray stripe. 🙂

    john you devil, sneeking in there durring my post volly.

    i got it figured out yeah, i figured out that some postal worker sent it
    to Salem Massauchssss (SP?) instead of Sallem Oregon. 8 days in the
    wilderness and they found their way home so all is good..except for
    GB4's flooded email acct. 😉

    fender? yeah. it was wet today and the plates are slippry since im fresh
    out of grip tape but i couldnt wait. im just glad i knew how to ride a
    unicycle first before jumping on one of these for the 1st time. it was
    that ol' suicide mount style feeling on the first leap of contact.

    spend on the plates and wheel?

  13. I'm still too much of a chicken to try riding a BC wheel. I saw a
    person fall flat on their tailbone while trying to ride one. Ouch!
    Obvious pain. Unable to move. Just laid there on the floor. That
    demonstration confirmed my belief that a BC wheel is not a safe thing to
    learn how to ride. I'm in no hurry to try a BC wheel (at least not
    yet).

    your missing out, its a truly differant rush to go at 36er type speeds
    without pedaling. i wish i started this a year ago. a welcome change of
    wheeldom.

    The website is gb4mfg.com but I don't see the plates on there. They
    look too high up and wide...

  20. the impossible wheel on unicycle.com has GB4 plates

    http://tinyurl.com/epd7r

    They look closer to the axle than the Bedford ones so probably take
    much more skill to ride on.
