Skint,
I use the Wunderlich smooth silver central cap which covers the bolts and is held on by two very strong magnets over the wheel bolts. I've had mine for almost 3 years without problems, however there have been some posts on Pelican from people saying that they have lost the newer ones (that look like a huge hex bolt with a retaining clip) after some spirited riding over a rough surface.
The only down side to my hub cover is it does damage the paint on the edge of the hub. Might be worth while putting some tape on the underside to stop the metal disk rubbing the paint on the wheel, if you buy one.
Cheers,
Paul

VW golf and polo early models used 17mm black caps,fit atreat.Get some from your local scrapyard or if your feelin flush go to a dealer.The haynes plug from the guy in OZ has got to be one of the best things you can buy for your S.

First thing I got for my bike was the plug from Mr Haynes in OZ.
Such a trusting chap sent it over with his address to send the cheque to.
Well worth the £8.50.
Bern.
Lots of posts on Pelican about expensive alloy and magnetic caps flying off never to be seen again.

It looks like that rather large pic in my post second from top and the contact details are via the link just below it.

Adam,
I didn't realise it was the same thing as Bern wrote about. I have just ordered some for us Scottish (as in living) Trixters. So if you read this Ian and Tom give me a call if you want one.
