  1. well i went down to the old home hardware store and i found some
    brackets for doors they cost like three bucks! so i then went to the
    muskoka bike shop and found a bmx wheel for 40 bucks but i have a 30$
    gift certificate there so it will only cost me about $20 in total i
    havn't bought those things yet cause i was trying to remeber if theres
    any thing else. is there?

    If at first you don't suceed, distroy all evidence that you tried

    the main reason santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad
    girls live.

  2. youve got what you need(assuming you have bolts) but keep in mind that
    if you plan on doin jumps at all those hardware store brackets might
    not last to long.

    will have been in welding class for a couple of weeks (months?) and
    then i can make some better ones.

  5. At the risk of sounding redundant, pictures please when you finish it.
    I never thought of building one before, but that would definitely be a
    'portable unicycle'

  6. That's pretty much all you need. Not too sure about what you are using
    for foot plates, but I guess it would work. Am just making one at the
    moment too, but I built the wheel from scratch. I imported a hub from
    US, a rim from Australia, then built it like that. Have fun with your
    BC!

  7. hey, im chris, and im making a BC right now!
    I have just a BMX front wheel and i got some plates made at my local
    steel-shaping place, u know...
    It is pretty much 'bomb' proof and costed me about AUD$30.
    Have fun!
