How did you cut off the knobs and does it hurt the bc in any way (like plates untightening and falling off)

I believe the hub uses bolts instead of nuts.

Example:

I didn't see this, sorry....

I hacked 1/2" or so (don't remember exactly, it was a few years back) off each end of the axle.

I then hucked those huge nuts into nuts have their thickness, they screwed them back on.

The only downside at all this has is minor surface rust on the exposed metal...which easily would be scrubbed clean if desired (and if i sold it, i would of course clean it off)

It was finished with a Dremel tool, so it's all nice and smooth

yep, the very pain I ridded myself with (also, your feet don't have to 'bend in' underneath the posts to land on the foot plates for beginner jump mounters.

people migh suggest they need them for huge jumps, this is not that type of BC wheel, it's only a 'freetyle' one, not a 'muni' one.

and you can still jump with this one anyways, the knobs are stil there, just much less annoying (to me)

Triball

But can you also jump with it? I mean regular, up the curb, jumps. If you, for example, squeeze your feet together to make friction, would it work?
