I think it is 33cm from memory. I tried to fit it in a 35cm tall cage once and it should have fitted - but scraped the top of the cage. It's because the cage base had slight raised area in the centre so the height wasn't the same all round,

You also need to allow the depth of the lid sitting on the cage (if that makes sense). It should fit - providing the base of the cage is flat and the lid doesn't dip down into the height. I think some people have managed to bend/doctor the stand if it didn't quite fit.

Another option would be the 27cm wodent wheel which is still an 11" wheel but slightly less tall. I think it's 31.5 to 32cm tall. But it's hard to get hold of sometimes. Easy to find in the US.
