Title: Wheel Washers Hooked - protecting F&F from wheel nuts
Post by: punkdSICO on January 17, 2012, 10:25 AM

Anyone know where you can get hooked wheel washers from?  Im looking for some cheap solutions to protecting dropouts and forks from wheel rash.  Something like these:

The above are on ebay but at £1:70 a pair, its rather a lot for just some washers (I want about 10+).

thanks,

Paul
