Yes I noticed that too Cloudy. But the wood wheels say the same - the 27cm one says 25.4cm internal diameter for the cork one so I would think it would be the same if 27cm is the external width and they use external width for their other wheels.

They just don't quote the internal width on their website for that one (which they do on the others). Maybe because it's quite new? I think it's a good idea but not keen on the design! With the ridgy bits. I'm nor sure I like Rodipet's Heureka wheel leaning backwards either! It must be similar to running on a flying saucer - not entirely straight running.

I've never needed to replace the cork on a wheel if it's plastikoted. Usually the wheel has had it's day by the time the cork is suffering! I guess the idea is so you can wash the wheel.

But I've washed plastikoted wood wheels anyway.

Anyway it's another wheel! (also expensive for a plastic wheel) - not sure it's quite there though - but then no wheel is perfect.

We should go into production!
