Hi All,
I use TicTac Wheels made in UK however the fixing bracket and the cage vibrates too much to my liking.
Have you come across any way of reinforcing the bracket to the cage?\
Thanks

I'm not sure. I've seen people attach a wooden block to reduce the noise and the pressure on the cage but idk how effective it really is. Pandamoniumpets wheels are great but if you live in the UK, shipping could get pretty pricey.

I'm not really sure how those wheels are attached, but I know some people use long wood boards or metal bars with holes to stabilize the wheel against the frame of the cage so it doesn't rattle the cage so much or break the bars. I'm not sure if that helps but here is some pics.
