Cheap wheel protectors

Today I made easy and cheap wheel protectors


what we need:
4pcs skateboard wheels 50mm 10$
connecting material /bolts, nuts, spacers../ cca 6$
and your time 0$

On ebay is a lot of wheels, more colors and designs

my wheels


we made on the lathe some spacers - If you have not the lathe (my friend has one in the garage), use some skate bearings or washers..




on bike






simple, cheap and practical
I hope it never tests in practice

Corela #91

looks nice

I like that.....simple and functional

Nice one!

I really like your spacers.

We used to use skate board wheels years ago on supermotos.

I can remember a thread on the old VD supermoto forum announcing that Toys R Us had a sale on, and they had heavily discounted a skateboard that had perfect wheels for use as crash bobbins. A lot of us purchased the cheap skate board just for the wheels.

We also enjoyed a thread discussing the uses of a skate board with no wheels!

Very cool. Is the offset tensioning nut something you fabricated or a piece from bar end weights?
Is you machinist buddie going to crank out more?
What is the slice of wood and why is it about?

Nicely done!
As said simple and functional. (and in black!)
