does anyone out there ride a BC (Also Called Impossible) Wheel? Any tips? We
bought a 16 inch Impossible. It's impossible, all right. Would a 20" or 24 "
be easier? Thicker tires? Psychiatric help? <:) Let us (family affair) know
what you think.

i think a 24'' would be alittle more stable for a bc wheel, but thats my opinion

wow, thread from the dead eh?

haha. Yeah, i know. Hopefully gilby isnt too mad or anything. He had to name my post that i made on another thread, and then delete the thread all together. But yeah, thats the oldest post i can find.

You kids. My BC wheel was seven years old. It's a 24" but I don't think wheel size matters nearly as much as hardware and bearing quality. My wheel's bearings are crap now, loose and in need of lubrication. A tight, or well-adjusted 20" wheel will ride much better.

...If anyone still wanted to know.

I still wanted to know JohnFoss. I really wanna make one and this is what i have been considering for a while now.

Although i wasnt just thinking about stability, i was thinking about the wheel getting in the way as well, like with turning so you dont get tyre burn on the side of your legs or anything. any thoughts? Do you think the 20" is the way to go?
