Heavy Duty Rubber Ferrules with Steel Base - School & Tubular Chair Feet | Made in Germany
Rubber Ferrules with Steel Base

I ordered these as replacements for the stand ferrules on my cargo bicycle, as the original plastic ferrules supplied with the bike wore down relatively quickly.

These replacements are noticeably more robust, fit the stand well, and so far show no signs of wear after a couple of months of regular use.

I am very pleased with them and would recommend the product.
