    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    These particular wheels are not ideal as they're 5.5J, but weigh less than 6kg!

    It did look strange to begin with but I don't think it looks toooooo bad.
