Sometimes, we don't give enough credit to suitcase wheels. Like our 3rd and 4th legs on a trip, it's only natural that they are the most worn-out component after the handles. The Case Star Replacement Wheels collection offers a simple solution to this inconvenience. Its premium design and high-quality materials let you glide effortlessly through any terrain.
Types of Case Star Replacement Wheels
Understanding the available types can help you decide on the right wheels for your travel needs.
- Spinner wheels are the perfect choice for travellers who prioritise ease of manoeuvrability. They can rotate 360 degrees for better mobility and stability in any direction. Spinner wheels are highly recommended for ease of navigation in busy places such as airports or tight hotel corridors.
- Inline wheels are for those who need a more robust option. They are designed for straight-line motion and can be beneficial for maintaining control on uneven surfaces.
In terms of material, Case Star Replacement Wheels come in various types, including rubber, polyurethane, and plastic.
- With rubber, you will get quieter operation and shock absorption — perfect for smooth surfaces.
- Add durability to the smoothness of rubber, and you get yourself a polyurethane.
- Conversely, plastic is lightweight and more affordable, a practical option for occasional use.
Sizes and compatibility are also important factors to consider. Luckily, our Case Star Replacement Wheels collection includes a variety of sizes to fit different suitcases. To determine the correct size, measure the diameter of your current wheels. If you're not sure about your measurement, consult the manufacturer's specifications.
How to Choose the Right Case Star Replacement Wheels
With so many options available, we understand that choosing the right wheels can be overwhelming. Here's a simple guide to help you find the perfect one:
- Use our "Identify Your Suitcase" tool to determine the correct wheel type and size of your luggage.
- Evaluate your travel needs, suitcase weight, and preferred wheel type to make the best choice.
- Consider the wheel's performance on various surfaces and its ability to handle your suitcase's weight.
How to Install Case Star Replacement Wheels
Replacing your suitcase wheels is a straightforward process that can be completed at home.
- Prepare your main tool: a Phillips screwdriver.
- Lay the case flat and open the zip divider.
- Peel away the protective cover and unscrew the wheel housing bracket.
- Remove the old wheel, including its housing bracket.
- Insert the new Case Star Replacement Wheels and its respective housing bracket, then secure it with screws.
- Press the protective cover back to its original position and do the same to the other wheel.
- Once done, give your suitcase a test run to ensure the wheels function correctly and smoothly.
Other Case Star Spare Parts
In addition to replacement wheels, we also offer other spare parts at our store, including locks, telescopic handles, carry handles and zipper pullers. These components are designed to ensure that every part of your suitcase remains in top condition, giving you a complete solution for luggage maintenance.
Maintenance and Repair Tips
Keep your wheels in top condition with proper maintenance and care:
- Clean your wheels regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Apply a light lubricant to the wheel bearings for smooth rotation.
- Inspect the wheels for signs of wear or damage and replace them as needed.
Keep an eye on your wheels' alignment. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven rolling and may lead to more significant damage over time.
