About us

After many years of racing and after working within the trackday industry as a race school instructor/trackday instructor, and off track providing tyre services & mechanical support in the UK, France, Portugal and Spain it became very apparent to me that a major issue for a lot riders of our sport was the task of remounting wheels after tyres changes.  The charges levied by some Trackday organisors/service providers for the service of removal & refitting wheels to the bikes after tyre changes can be pretty heavy. Sometimes £20 to £25 for something that can be done in seconds with our captive wheel spacers fitted.

I have seen grown men almost in tears as they were about to miss their track sessions due to not being able to refit the wheels after tyre changes etc. And not really wanting to pay the charges for the service offered by the trackday organisers, and guys that have lost wheel spacers, whilst in the process of wheel changes or tyre fitting, to lose the rest of the day or miss races as no oe replacements were available, fitting captive wheel spacers takes away this issue.

Then the changing from dries to wets, continually swapping wheels over can be time consuming and frustrating and very risky if using the OE spacers with getting them mixed up, lost etc. With our captive wheel spacers this does not happen.

From my racing days having captive wheel spacers in my race bike definitely helped me during my time racing, never missing races or tracktime as wheels were often removed and refitted in minutes with no issues unlike some of my fellow competitors.

For road use?

Initially we produced our range of Captive wheel spacers for the latest models on track at that time, but soon we were getting asked to provide for many many different makes and models, not just for track, but for road users as well. Riders who wanted to work on there own machines without the struggle. You can fit Captive wheel spacers to your road bike as they are a straight swap over from your oe spacers.

We are now providing these captive spacer kits for motorcycles where back in their day of production these kits simply were not available, and also for many road based machines where owners simply want to work on their own machines and not struggle to refit wheels after basic servicing/cleaning of there bikes.

We are continually striving to produce a very high quality component at a very affordable price.
