New Savic wheel on sale

[Pouchy]

remember the Savic Jumbo Rolly wheels that we've all had problems with - the easy snap spindle, the brittle plastic and completely daft spindle tube on the wheel. Savic have brought out a new wheel and all these problems have been addressed. Its about the same size as the old one, the plastic of the wheel is not brittle, the central attachment makes more sense and the cage clip is made from non brittle plastic and the spindle is in the centre of the attachment not at one end. it is so much better in design and it works well. Asbo has been using it for a week now and nothing has snapped (famous last words).

Full marks to Savic for listening to all our complaints and doing something to rectify them.

It is also slightly cheaper than the old Roly Jumbo and can be found on ebat, sorry ebay ( ebat is where you buy you're next wife from - sorry everyone, couldn't resist - just pretend i'm Jimmy Carr!).

Is it still called the Rolly Jumbo - or something else?

[babyboos]

oh interesting though I have quite a few old style Roly Jumbos with no problems I will need to keep an eye out for these.

[Pouchy]

It's called the Savic Jumbo wheel - no Roly in the name now.

I have loads of those wheels lying around where the middle spindle has snapped, someone wrote to the company and got sent a load out, maybe I should do the same

The new type sound promising *Goes off to search ebay*

Thanks for the info Pouchy.

Just a few Qs, do they still fit on the same stands and how much noise do they make?

Thanks

[Pouchy]

Don't know about the stands as never used one and noise is not much. The wheel doesn't keep me awake at night if that's any help.

is that the new one cos if so I might give it a go, Willow is small for a Syrian and has a slient spinner but I ' like her to have some thing bigger.

I got one off that seller last week, it was here in 2 days.

Its pretty spacious and seems to be a better build than the old ones, for the price its not bad at all. Only downside is that its a bit clonky but if you don't mind that its a good wheel

[newtohamsters]

oooooooo does it fit on the old stand do you know?does it come with a stand?

I will get Willow one, I really think even tho she is small the slient spinner is too small.

I really shoudl go to bed now.

night and thanks for your reply
