Well, today i decided to buckle down and get to work and finding things for my BC. So i went into my garage and found that the only tire i had was a 26" MTB tire. That was a little diheartinging, but i decided to make do. Now all i need was some plates, so my stepdad took me out to look for stuff. I took us about 2 hours to find out excatly what I was looking for.
It turned out that the perfect bc plate was a thing that is supposed to hold big doors together, those were about 9 bucks each. I also got some washers and lock washers and once i got home i put it together in about 10 minutes.
Over all it was about 23 bucks… quite the steal if you ask me
This is the finshes result… sorry i have a bad cemera
i have no camera… and ill just post in this thread… i practiced for about 45 minutes yesturday before i had to go inside… i got to the end of my driveway… which is about 45 feet and i did that twice… it is alot easier than i thought but it is a lot funner. Ill post more later
I made my own BC wheel out of an old bmx wheel. Its silver near the tire because it was off of a bike that was stolen by gypos and ridden with no tires on. I whipped out the angle grinder and smoothed it off again. The plates are 3mm steel. I have done drops of about 1ft on it, but as you can see the plates are bending! Pics Here and Here!
Hey, I’ve looked at those before, but they were $10 each and didn’t look like they’d fit very well. So I didn’t get them. Maybe I should look around some more and make myself a BC…
Yeah, its pretty hard to ride now. Im gonna make some new plates. Any suggestions? Its kinda hard to find plates that are pre-bent and strong enough here in the uk!
