Will the pieces that hold the wheels rub on my carbon fiber deep dish wheels?

I have used the rack with carbon rims and the straps do touch the rims to secure the wheel but I have not noticed any rubbing. The large plastic piece only touches the tires.

Because the wheel clamps are what is holding the wheel in place, yes - it will have contact with your carbon fiber, deep dish wheel. Road conditions, tail winds, and how you drive will cause the frame to move - fact of life. If you are concerned - use a different strap. We've lost a strap and replaced it with a velcro strap that is an inch wide with the industrial strength velcro and it works fine.

if you are referring to the straps that go over the rims, yes they may firmly contact the rims and could rub--depends on your rims/wheels--not a problem on my bikes tho.The big plastic shells only contact the tires.

It should not, no. However, you may wish to look at the Freedom Superclamp, that rack only touches the tires

NO. They actually protect tires and wheels by maintaining stability and keeping them in place under tough driving conditions.

It should not scratch if used properly and if beaters are installed properly

The wheels are neither hard plastic or softer rubber. They are a dense squeezable foam composition. For being foam they work great on our laminate floors and I love the fact they won't cause any scratches.

I don't think they would. They don't seem to go far enough back to fully cover the wheel. I would go with a metal set that goes halfway down the back of the wheel.

Yes, but you may need to remove the plastic in the wheel wells to prevent rubbing when make tight turns.

The wheels are soft. The chart provided by Amazon is incorrect. This model uses the exact same wheels used on the MC-CG917 and MC-CG902. Same part number. I use this machine on polished hardwood floors and the wheels do not mar the finish or leave any scratches.

I'd be surprised if they didn't, but it my be wise to use a little glue to keep the wheel ones in. I had one fall out a while ago.

I haven't tried but don't see any reason why they would. They are a very dense rubber wheel of high quality. I would clean the wheels good before placing onto a wooded floor if it had been used in a dirty environment for dirt can get embedded within the wheels.

Yes. They are held on by pins that go through holes in the metal axle of the wheel. You can choose not to put them on when you assemble the frame or you could remove the pin after you've assembled it with the wheels.

You may have to put in a properly dished wheel to get the calipers in the right spot. For most frames a properly dished wheel is centered over its hub. That's what I had to do- now I use the stand to dish my wheels as well. You can loosen the bolts on the plate that secures the calipers- just be patient, when you tighten them up again, the plate and calipers move a bit.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

The wheels are not a hard plastic they are more like a little soft rubber styrofoam type material. I do not think they will scratch the floor. My granddaughter loves the carrage.

I haven't used mine yet, I bought them for our 5th wheel...but I think they are not dishwasher safe.

The caster wheels are detachable. You can opt not to install them or to uninstall them if they're already on.

No,I don't think so. I use a heavy duty white zip tie that I lace through the hub cap and the wheel itself . It doesn't look bad and has kept them safe for about a year now. Good luck.

No, but may leave marks to be removed. Certainly, any wheel will scratch if grit is present.

I'm not so sure if this are really Rubber Wheels? why? simply because if they really were Rubber they would be FLAT couldn't hold the weight put on them. I use them everywhere, I have not had marks or scratches on my floors I use them on cement and on Laminate floors. no problems on my side. But like the law of things? try it on a piece of what ever you are going to use them on and see for yourself. I'm very happy with how they work and hold the weight and they do not go flat if left on the same spot a long time. I have not moved the shelves for a period of 8 months the last time and when I moved the rack it rolled. :) hope it helps...
