Funsters tail super silent wheel

[Amy]

I can definitely recommend this wheel, which has been working overtime the past months. I bought the Bucatstate wheel (nearly identical) for the playpen and must admit, this wheel is far better. After two days the Bucatstate wheel sometimes makes a strange clonking sound (I googled and it seems to happen frequently). I have taken it apart and cleaned it, but it still happens spontaneously.
The funster tail is absolutely silent and is far easier to take apart if it needs to be cleaned.

That's really good news It's already on the recommended wheels thread I just wish they could sell these good wheels a bit cheaper!

Nibbles is a wheel trasher Socks went through wheels very quickly except for his Savic Rolly, which lasted all his life

that´s true. the funstertail cost 59,- Euros (I bought it on prime day) that is very expensive, but it is a good wheel.

I have fixed the clonking Bucatstate wheel so if anyone ever has the same problem I can help out

I will try to explain how to fix it:
First you unscrew the plastic knob in the center of the wheel.
Then you unscrew the metal disc (anti clockwise) be careful as the wheel will fall off as soon as this disc is completely unscrewed.
Place the stand on its back, you will see a metal piece where the wheel is attached to. This has a specific shape a bit like this.
This hole of the wheel has exactly the same shape (this is not easy to see)
Place the wheel on the metal disc ensuring the wheel matches the shape of the disc. Screw the metal disc to fix the wheel back into place then the plastic disc.
Once apart you can make sure there is no dust or crumbs in the parts but do not wash them, prefer a soft brush to clean.
Now the wheel should run smoothly and silently.
Make sure you have tightens both discs but only hand tight not with force.
I have read many post of people having this issue, I hope I could help someone with this guide.
I hope it’s easy to follow

It's great. It's good to know that the clonking issue can be solved with Bucatstat wheels
