Rim Ice scraper

thingiverse

For those living in colder climates, dealing with snow is a real challenge. An ice-packed snow scraper can be a game-changer for removing built-up snow from rims and wheels while driving through the white stuff or digging out your ride after a snowstorm. When you're navigating snowy roads or clearing off a layer of ice, snow can accumulate on various parts of your wheel, causing it to become misbalanced at high speeds, resulting in an unpleasant vibration. Standard ice scrapers and brushes often fall short when trying to reach the hard-to-access areas where this buildup occurs. This innovative scraper's pointed tip allows you to gently nudge away stubborn chunks of snow and ice from these tricky spots, while its wider section enables you to access areas behind the spokes with ease. Be cautious not to dislodge any stick-on weights that might be attached to your wheel. I've been using a prototype version of this scraper for two years now, and it's proven itself effective at removing even the toughest hard-packed snow and ice with just one swift poke. If you want extra security, you can add a 5MM rod to the slot, which will help keep everything rigid in place.
