Hint W5 - Wheels and tyres

Hint W5 - Wheels and tyres

Many K’NEX sets include wheels that consist of hubs with removable tyres.

The photo shows the popular K'NEX small wheel, which fits onto any classic K'NEX rod.

Z18401 To use the wheel, simply put a classic K'NEX rod through the hole in the middle, and it will spin freely. One way to stop the wheel falling off the rod is to put a K'NEX clip on the end of the rod (see picture).

If you want the rod and wheel to turn at the same time, please view Hint W6.

Z18402 Some more popular classic K'NEX wheels built from hubs and tyres are shown in this photo.

Z18403 Micro K'NEX also includes a standard hub that can be fitted with two different sizes of tyre, as shown in the photo.

The hub can be attached onto the end of any Micro K'NEX rod.
