3. Components

3.1 Overview of components 

Loopwheels™ Urban and Loopwheels™ Extreme are wheels with integral 
suspension for use with manual wheelchairs.

Each wheel comprises the following components:

Your wheel may differ slightly from the diagram as each Loopwheel is 
manufactured individually to the specifications in the order.

3.2 Note on bearings

The bearings are fixed and bonded into the wheel hub.

DON’T ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR CHANGE THE BEARINGS YOURSELF! 

Seek advice from us about the correct procedure for removing bearings from 
Loopwheels™. 

4. Accessories

4.1 Tyres 

We recommend a pneumatic tyre such as Schwalbe® Marathon Plus tyres for 
use with Loopwheels™. 

We do NOT recommend the use of solid tyres: this will invalidate your warranty.

For a Loopwheel Urban, you need a tyre size ETRTO 25-540 or 24 x 1.00 inch 

For a Loopwheel Extreme, you need a tyre size ETRTO 47-507 or 24 x 1.75 inch

4.2 Spacers 

We provide 2 stainless steel and 1 rubber spacer with each Loopwheel. This helps 
ensure a snug fit of the wheels on your wheelchair and helps prevent the wheels 
touching the chair. Depending on the model and specification of your chair, you 
may or may not need to use these.
