New BC plates with pics!

Evan_Byrne · November 23, 2005, 4:14pm

Hola,

well, i made another pair of bc plates, the exact same as my newer old ones.

This time i desided to try something a little different, i tilted teh bases up about 3º to help keep my feet into the bolts, and to keep my feet from sliding off the plates in a hard landing. i tryed them out and it helps ALOT, you cant really feel it, though you can sure see it. but you can really feel our feet sliding into the plate, vs where you have to keep pinching your feet into the plates to stay on.

heres a pic:

Do the bolts rip up your ankles when you land wrong?

Couldn’t help it

Did you make your plates out of tubing or bar stock?
What size?

Evan_Byrne · November 23, 2005, 7:36pm

The tubing is round 1/2" .083 4130, the plate stock is 3/16" 4130

al_lieffring · November 23, 2005, 7:43pm

I know it’s not as sexy sounding as 4130 but wouldn’t 3/8 inch gas pipe work just as well?

Seriously!!! How do you not mind the axle sticking out that far. My BC used to be that way and I had to cut down to be able to ride.

Evan_Byrne · November 23, 2005, 9:00pm

well teh bolts are for hopping, and i usualy ride on teh ball of my foot, so…
