thanks to anyone who posts

I’ve heard of it done, and it is suppose to be rideable. However the pegs have a tendency to rotate while you ride + the BC wheel would have a higher center of gravity compared to a BC wheel with drop plates. These two factors would make the wheel more difficult to ride then a BC wheel with drop plates.

Have you considered using your wheel and buying just the drop plates, that might be less expensive then buying the whole BC wheel.

I don’t BC wheel but that’s what I have read.

Yup. I’ve made on like that. I never learned to ride it, but a kid at my
juggling club did. I don’t think I’ll get on a BC wheel again unless it
has plates, though :slight_smile:
