UniHoki Wheel-Cover Question

If you can't work something out with a wheel disc, different colour
tires are an alternate solution (although your idea would be much
cheaper and more convenient if you can get it working)

I don't think you have to go as far as to disc the entire wheel. I
think it would be ok to tie trail marking ribbons on a few spokes.
Those are cheap and very easy to get.

When we play everyone has the same type of stick but there are 2
different colors of them. Putting cardboard in the wheel sounds like a
better and cheaper idea though.

You could try Googling for Coroplast; it's a corrugated plastic and is
available in many bright colors.

Home Depot might have that corrugated plastic stuff, the hardware store
here in Sherbrooke carries it... awesome stuff, I've got a an R/C plane
from back in HS mae from the stuff... damn near indestructible!

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

thanx for the feedback
i'll get to a hardware store tomoro and have a look at what they've
got

i've thought about covering the sticks, but people do have their own and
it's a bit more of a challenge coming up with an easy on, easy off
colour-changable solution for sticks
we can get them for R10 a stick (that's like a BigMac without fries) and
we can get them in white and black

i might just buy ten and hand them out at the start of the game and see
how we go
we have to left-handers tho

Colour coded sticks may be an idea, coz the plastic for the rims may be
more expensive & remember there are 3 different rim sizes which our
players are using 19" 20" & 24" (20bux for 2 sticks each isnt bad
considering we pay 25 bux a game), but yea the wheel discs would be more
visually affective.

Im one of the lefties, and broke my stick last week and played with a
right handed stick, didnt seem to be a problem (I played just as [censored] as
usual 😄 ), so either way i need a new stick, if you could bring an
extra one on sunday for me dave - Thanks, I looked at all my local
second hand stores, and no sticks available (L or R hand)!

Whos the other leftie? & and are the sicks you/johnj get curved or
straight.

If you seriously want to look at getting plastic in quantity (enough for
everyone) you may want to look at somewhere like 'maizey plastics'
(http://www.maizey.co.za/) it would be cheaper im sure. (not shure if
they have what we looking for, my net connection is very slow at the mo,
so i cant check)

QUICK UNIHOKI QUESTION?
The rules state max wheel size is 24”, is there a limit to the tire
size? Would a 24x3” tire be “legally” allowed, bearing in mind it’s a
duro knobbly tire used with 170 cranks so I don’t think it would gain
any speed over other 24” unis, but will be faster than the 20”ers & less
manoeuvrable, Thoughts?

i've got some spares in the car
it'll mean we won't be able to play on the same team as i have one white
and one black
i'll get hold of john j and see if he can get some more sticks
i know he can get them straight or curved (depends what the R10 store
has in stock

i know Kurt took the last straight one smdO2 said:

*Whos the other leftie?*

Jason plays with a LH stick
i don't think he's actually left handed, i think he just plays with that
stick in order to give him a tactical advantage on the right hand side
of the field

as an experiment, i cut some disks from fairly stiff paper
once u cut out a 5cm diameter section in the middle to allow for the hub
and make one single radial cut, it's actually quite easy to slide
inbetween the spokes
we only fitted white ones to the wheels of one team and it looked really
great
here are some pics
it loses something in the static pic but a videoclip will show how much
easier it is to distinguish players from different teams

edit: forgot to attach the pics...

it's also a nice space to offer sponsors as a basic logo will remain
quite readable despite the turning of the wheel
