Our customers say…

Customers find these wheel rim protectors invaluable for preventing damage during tyre changes. They highlight that the protectors work as intended, are easy to use, and protect rims effectively. However, many recommend buying two packs since three pieces are often needed. Some noted the protectors wear out after multiple uses, but they are affordable to replace. Durability and fit were consistently praised, though some users mentioned slight design improvements could enhance usability around corners.

Useless and will scratch your wheels

05 June 2024 by Anonymous

The plastic is extremely soft and if you have hard wall sports bike tyres, you'll easily destroy those on first try. I'm a bit disappointed with SBS as cheapo, generic wheel protectors from Amazon worked so much better.

I hope to see proper wheel protectors for sale on SBS.

Well made protectors

They work very well and protect your rims two set's would be better.

Durable, but, not unbreakable

11 April 2019 by Mike W

View rim protectors as a consumable workshop item. These work well, soft enough not to damage the rim. Hard enough to cope w 400mm long tyre levers.
Expect 20/30 ish uses minimum, before the protector is knacked

Useful tool

13 April 2018 by Ian T

Haven't used them yet but they appear to be to the usual standard and probably just as easy or awkward to use as others.

Cheep rim protectors that work really well. Buy 2 sets as you will need them.

Stopped using them

28 March 2017 by Katy

Corners could do with being curved not straight as makes it awkward to get rim over corners.
3 needed per set.
Had to stop using them to get tyre off.
They protected my rim.

Didn't snap very well on my wheel, but they were better than the other ones I have.

Good item

17 October 2016 by Tom S

Good item, but as many have said you need 3 really, so have to buy 2 sets.

Excellent

12 May 2015 by Jeremy A

Made the job very simple. Easy to use, no damaged rims and no damaged tyres. What could be easier? Buy them - worth every penny.

Better than the rubbery ones

02 April 2014 by Andy B

After using the softer rubber variety, I can recommend these as infinitely better. The only criticism I have is that it's easier to change a tyre with three of them. These only come in twos.

Very practical

28 June 2013 by John B

The shape and fit is spot on. They snap onto the rim and then slide around as you need. No use saving money fitting your own tyres then damaging the rims. They're inexpensive . . . buy 'em !
