Notes	We recommend using our 42mm wooden spinner saver to protect the knock-on caps (spinners) when using a copper and hide hammer. XW5726 / XW5794 : Due to the positioning of the centre in relation to the rim you will require an extra-deep wooden spinner saver Click here for advice on how tight to apply spinners.	Due to the design of the centre of the XW5768 this three-eared spinner is not the best fit for this wheel. It is still safe to fit these spinners, however, we would recommend using the two-eared spinners. We recommend using our copper and hide hammer to tighten/loosen the knock-on caps (spinners).
