wheel question

[emily.garl]

I have been reading about wheels until my eyes are crossing, and I was just wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I share my bedroom with my chin, and his current wheel is SO loud, it's crazy. He has the forchinatechin wheel. I was looking at Chin Spins and at Silver Surfers, and was wondering which would be quietest. He has the Super Pet cage (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Pet-Fir...HWZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301627098&sr=8-1), so I know that it adds a little noise to the wheel, but I really need some guidance.

Thanks!!!

i've read that putting a block of wood between the wheel's bracket and the cage bars can lessen the noise of the bars rattling some. and it will also create a larger load bearing surface so you're less likely to have snapped cage bars.

as for wheels, i'm trying to save up for a flying saucer (the good metal one, not the plastic crap one). i've read they are quite silent in operation.
