Which BC wheel should i get?

Gumba23 · 2007-09-14T15:37:09+00:00

I was looking on unicycle.uk and it has 2 bc wheels for sale. The 'first one' (http://tinyurl.com/7c98z) is only £85 but there is another one witch costs £110 'here.' (http://tinyurl.com/epd7r) So what i want to know is weather the more expensive one is worth it or if i should get the cheaper one. If any one else knows a another place i could get a bc wheel that is better/ cheaper please share it. But remember i am in england. Thanks in advance. -- Gumba23 {🙂 Unicycle For Peace🙂 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gumba23's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14496 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64242 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Unless you're gonna be going off crazy drops and doing some mad hops on
it, the Nimbus would actually be better.

When in doubt, always buy the most expensive one. 🙂

Sometimes I wonder about you lot!
Please read the specifications of the Nimbus and the other one. The
reason the Nimbus is cheaper is not because it is less good it is
because it is made in Taiwan instead of being handmade in the US. It
is a much more developed product.
The Nimbus plates can be fitted in 3 different heights they have a
folded back plate that will offer a much higher strength than any other
plate on the market. It also has 'futtocks'
