Sick and tired of rooting through your boxes to find a full set of tyres?
Tyres cluttering up your work space?...

Look no further..

.. Bj's all new wheel tidys :cool:

(Just kidding i dont want to get into advertising) :woot:..


Been making some wheel tidys. The new ones will be made out of stainless steel instead of the rusty stuff seen in the pictures ;)

HPI used to do some really nice plastic ones with a spring at one end for holding all 4 wheels together. Haven't been able to find them for ages so it looks like you have a gap in the market Ben!

why don't you just use some big zip ties bag of 50 for £1 from market...

thread upto 4 wheels/tyres onto zip ties, then just re-thread the end back into the last wheel simples

I used to do something like that.

Just run the wheels onto a big zip-tie, clipping the end just after the last wheel. Then, run an old 8-32 nut onto the end of the zip tie for a couple of turns. Done!

I suppose a wingnut would be even easier to use.
