bc wheel

zfreak220 · 2006-07-23, 04:06 AM

is a bigger wheel easier to learn on? or is it better to have a smaller wheel. i'll probally go with a 24" wheel because of availability.

I think a smaller wheel is better. I read somewhere that smaller wheels are easier to manage. But if you learn on a bigger wheel, the small one will be a piece of cake! Or whatever you like, if not cake...you get the point!

For a bc wheel, I would learn on a 24, it will open up more options later on, cause you can do hand on the tire stuff easier, and wont strain your back.

i use 20'' wheel. It works for me

cikster44 · 2006-07-25, 07:53 PM

i recomend a 20" its the one i learned on and as said earlier is easier to manage.

smcmorrow · 2006-07-26, 07:26 PM

I have a 20" but I would suggest a 24", the 20" gets squirrly at high speeds and the 24" is easier to ballance.

i made a 24" bc, but my homemade plates didn't hold up, as soon as i got on they started bending down, which sucks. oh well.

I read in Charley Dancey's "How to ride your unicycle" that only extremely few people manage to learn to ride the impossible/bc-wheel. It seems there are more than that (Which is good)

BC wheels are easy. I can almost ride one after about 3 hours of practise on Spencer's.

I like 19" BC's(trials)

24"s seem fast too me, but I think it's more getting used to it. with a 24" your higher off the ground also.

if you mean franticly flailing your arms and making it down a driveway 1 in 10 trys, then yeah, you can almost ride one.

3 hours? were you out riding while everyone was sleeping?

24s are good, I ride the trials mostly though. The 24 will definately feel fast and weird if the only thing you have ridden up to that point is a trials.

Just 8 people(not including you) out of 15 posts...After all, I READ...But it would be awesome to ride one! Or at least BORROW one for A FEW WEEKS while I learn...which may take a while as I have almost no cerebellum...(cerebellum=part of the brain that receives information about balance) it's like, I had to choose ONE wheel, I could have chosen three, but no, it had to be one...what do I care about how many wheels, if you can ride one, you can ride them all! Get it? One, all! W'ever...
