Wheel Cover Clips

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi - I've managed to break one of the little plastic clips that attach my Mango's fabric wheel covers to the spokes. There are still enough to hold the cover on for now... but once one breaks, how long before another fails, and then it's goodbye wheel cover?

Can't find anything that looks like the clips used online - tiny plastic things that slot onto the spoke down at the nipple end, and present a hook pointing to the hub for the wheel cover to slot into. I've a feeling that I'm just not using the right search term though! 

Any ideas?

K.

	Just contact Velomobiel.nl and ask them to send you some, they're the same as the Quest.

	D'oh! Seems so obvious now that you say it! Thanks.

	Cable clips (the type you'd nail to a wall) would be the bodge solution...
