How to Measure for a Perfect Fit
Wheelchair wheel sizes generally range from 20"-26" when measured across from one side of the wheel to the other. The spokeguard will be slightly smaller than this measurement so that it fits snugly up under the push rim.
To place an order for a spokeguard you will need to know two measurements: The wheel's overall size, and the interior diameter of the wheel. To confirm the correct size for your order we recommend you measure your wheels as follows:
- Meaure the overal diameter of your wheel - from one edge all the way across to the other side. (Most wheels have this measurement printed right on the tire). This measurement should match the mesaurements in
RED
in the picture below.
- Measure the interior diameter of the wheel from just under the push rim on one side of the wheel all the way across to just under the push rim on the other side of the wheel. This measurement is shown in
BLUE in the chart below.

What Size Should I Select for the Interior Hole?
Next you need to decide on the size of the interior hole for your spokeguard. The default size is 4 inches (10.2 cm) across. This accomodates most wheelchair wheel hubs. However, if you'd prefer a 6 inch (15.2 cm) or larger hole - no problem. Just let us know what size you need.
