Sidekick Folding Spinning Wheel
Sidekick Folding Spinning Wheel
This pint-sized gem has everything we want to see in a travel wheel: a terrific little spinner that is comfortable, stable, and easy to fold and unfold. Schacht employed bicycle technology in its design: a drive wheel turned 90 degrees as on a bicycle, precise tension control for the drive band, and quick-release levers for easy folding and unfolding.
Fold it up and it can go wherever you go.
The Sidekick comes with:
3 travel bobbins
Medium and fast whorls
Orifice hook
Poly drive band
Carrying strap
Manual
IMPORTANT: There is a Sidekick here at the shop for you to try. I do not have these in stock, but will order from Schacht. The wheel can be picked up here or delivered directly to you if you don’t live nearby. I will include 6 ounces of Jacob fiber when you order a Sidekick! Allow 3 to 5 weeks for delivery.
