    Default GloRyder question

    Has anybody managed to remove the wheel without actually having to take the GloRyders off?

    I think that would be a problem. The GloRyders cover the lug nuts just enough to make it not worth while to try IMO. I can put GloRyders on without removing the wheel, but don't see how you could take the wheel off without removing at least the cover plate of the GloRyders.

    I wouldn't remove them for this reason either.
    But it sure is a good thing to know about!

    Yes this is true but if you are wondering why it all has to do with battery size. The size of the AA battery is what regulates the size of the housing. We found that the AA battery was the ideal battery to use with this device as the AAA was just not powerful enough. If it were not for that we could easily reduce the size of the housing. Really if you are at the point where you need to remove a wheel taking the GloRyder off by removing the cap and unscrewing 2 more screws should not pose too much difficulty
