How do I choose the right size spoke guard?

To ensure the perfect fit, you’ll need to measure across the inside of your wheel (rim to rim) — not including the tyre. This internal diameter determines which disc size you need. 

Spoke guards from 400mm to 500mm come with a standard 135mm cut out in the centre. This allows access to quick release wheels. Contract us for a bespoke cutout size.

Although we list most standard wheel sizes, every wheel brand is different. If you are not sure, get in touch.

Our covers are designed to fit to spoked wheels. They are not yet compatible with solid hub.

Do you make covers for mag wheels and electric chairs?

Yes, but we need to know how many spokes your wheel has to ensure the attachments line up with your spokes.

We are happy to make custom sizes for any spoked wheel. Including , but not limited to, mag wheels, power chairs or sports chairs. So, If your wheel is anything other than a regular bike type, spoked wheel, get in touch with a size and photo of your wheel and we will design a custom size at no additional cost.

For sizes larger than 500mm there may be a very small additional fee for materials.

Image 2 shows passing the velcro around the front and back through second slot. Image 3 shows velcro wrapped around several spokes behind the wheelchair wheel to secure.

How do I fit my spoke guards?

Always fit spoke guards first, and if you have them, silicone hand rim covers second.

Single sided; wrap the velcro around as many spokes as you can and secure in place, wrapping as much Velcro as possible.

Double sided; feed the velcro strap through a slot from the back of the wheel cover, through the cover and back round the spokes.

For Double sided designs we provide 2 colour matched sets of Velcro to best match each design.

What size handrim / push rim covers do I need?

We sell silicone handrim / push rim covers for 22" and 24" wheels.

To ensure a proper fit, please choose the size of your rim covers based on the size of your wheelchair tyre. For example, if your wheelchair has 24-inch tyres, you should select the 24-inch covers.

The size of you wheel should be printed on the side wall of your tyre. If not, for maintained / NHS chairs you can contact Wheelchair Services, they will be able to tell you what size wheels are on your chair.

Alternatively, contact us with the make and model of your wheelchair and we will endeavor to find out for you.

How to fit silicone hand rim / push rim covers

Start at the top and have the open part of the hand rim cover towards the inside of your chair.

Work your way around the rim twisting slightly inwards as you get to the end.#

They can be a little stiff at first, don’t worry, keep twisting, they will pop into place.

If you really struggle, wipe a little bit of washing up liquid inside the cover, it helps to slide it on more easily.
