Not worth the investment

Based on my experience, these wheel nut caps offered no real protection to my bike wheels. The caps did not fit securely and came off easily while cycling, leaving my wheels exposed. The only pro was the aesthetic appeal but that alone did not justify the cost. Save your money and invest in a more reliable wheel protection system..

Pros
  • Increased protection for the wheel nuts
Cons
  • Difficult to remove without the proper tools

Misleading product description.

Product description is misleading. I bought 2 sets - one for my wife's Brompton and one for myself. Each set does NOT include 4 pieces. It came in a set of 3 pieces.

Pros
  • Not compatible with: Shimano hub dynamo SON hub dynamo SP hub dynamo Ultra light front wheel as all these wheels use a thru axle smaller than the cover
Cons
  • Good but not great
