Oh Man... My gliders can't get enough of their cruisers! You can see my review here: http://www.flyingmarsupial.com/wheel.htmlI have 2 now, one with a full bounce and the other (that's shown in the picture) with no bounce. The one in the review has a plastic track, and my full bounce has the PVC coated wire track. Let me just say... both... AWESOME. If I had it to do over, I'd probably pick the PVC coated wire for both, but it all depends on your gliders whether the bounce is for you or not. I also have a stealth, and they've all had their hands on it, but I am looking to replace the stealth, just because I like the track and the bounce better. OH! Kite, my fattest glider, has lost ALL HER extra weight because of the full bounce wheel! It makes her work a little harder, so she's been feelin' the burn! She's as skinny as Pegasus now! (her always skinnier twin)

Here is one of my 4. I have one in all three cages and one in the bathroom for playtime. My guys love them. I only got one with the coated wire track and a little bounce and I love it. I wish I had chosen the wire track on all 4. CC Wheel CC Back Doubles as a wrestling arena

Oh my! That between-the-legs headlock is TOO much!
And yay for Kite! I know exactly what it's like to be the FAT sister. And then get skinny! LOL
I know I would want the full bounce, at least on one, for our sweet little 'pork chop.' But I'm thinking for the kids cage (there will be 4 in there) I would want the wide track for group running and WWF wrestling of course!
Oh, Trigger it looks like a little strip for trimming nails on yours. Is it? An option? Or a do-it-yourself?
And is Bourbon the only one who can tell me what colors she has available? I'll be calling her when I get my mind made up anyway.
Thank you guys!
Anyone else? Pictures? Comments?

I have a colony-size Custom Cruiser with FULL bounce...and what FUN it is to watch my suggies playing with it. For the first few days after I put it in, my babies were very curious and a little taken back at how BIG it is...but after they started to adjust to it, the fun began! The most that I've seen in there at one time has been 3: One poor baby is running for all they're worth while the other 2 hang onto the inside for the ride! What a circus we have when the runner falls "out of synch". I have a bunch of buff boys in the M-cage now, and Miss Minka needs to get back in there when she heals to work off her "baby fat". I think I need to get at couple more (maybe regular size) with the full bounce for my "fluffy" cages.

I have 6 CC wheels right now and three more in the future. All my babies love them. Sorry I really cant help alot with options since I tell Bourbon to give me a fuul,half and no bounce but other than that I dont give her any other specifics. Just whatever she feels like making me. I'm easy like that. LOL I know she has yellow,blue,red and of course the green theraputic one.

Oh I can't WAIT for the SGGA! I'm going to be getting two of them that are on 4 foot tall stands, extra wide track and bounce for my play room. I've ordered them but I don't even know how much they are going to cost.

i had bourbon make me a full bouncer & a 1/2 one. & the baby in my family is the one who can run it!!! i think my 'fluffie' ones must just be lazy!!! but, they are getting the hang of it. i have a total of 5 wheels now. wodent, wobust, 1/2 bounce, full bounce, & one made by gvf, or tgi, suggiebabies anyway. the trim traxx from suncoast can fit into them also, so i'm happy about that,too. the wheels are really the most favorite toy for them rite now. the end of this summer, when we will be finished w/their room, i plan on making it into a whole jungle for them. i figured, if i kept buying a little @ a time, once it's done, i will have boughten a lot of stuff for them. i have to get busy & order stuff on here real soon. i've seen so many great toys for them on here, that i really don't know where to begin. i need big stuff though, since their cages will be used primarily to eat & sleep in, otherwise everything else will be out in the room from the ceiling & on shelves for them. i hope you will be able to get them a variety of wheels, as i have, so they can decide which ones they like the best. i still do plan on a stealth myself, just haven't done it yet. talk @ ya L8R josefine

How wide is your colony cruiser? Is it wider than the wide track in Amanda's picture?
Looking at Amanda's wide track when she puts her hand up to it, it seems to be a pretty good size already. The normal one is a pretty wide track as it is, but the colony cruiser is a couple inches wider, from what I understand. I KNOW I've seen one in person, but I just can't remember... Whats the best way to place an order for one (and find out pricing?)? You have to contact Bourbon to order them. All of her contact info is in her profile.

This is one of two Cruiser wheels I just bought this Jan. Cruiser Wheel 11. Full Bounce 2. Wheel Height: Stands 8 inches (from the bottom of cage to bottom of wheel) 3. Width: I think I went with 4 inches. (useable track that they run on) Cruiser Wheel 21. Full Bounce 2. Wheel Height: Stands 14 inches 3. Width: 4 inches I LOVE the cruiser wheels. My babies run on it all night and I mean all night. The cruiser wheel actually got one of my babies to run in the wheel. They used to have stealth's and it was just not interesting enough for him I guess.

Fifteen postings later, Crystal, I went into the glider-torium and measured the width of my track: From front frame to back, the track is 8" wide. I have the "full bounce" feature I think on this, it rocks & rolls BIG TIMES. My pole is a good 12" above the base and daffodil yellow. I paid $40 for it & it's worth EVERY PENNY.

I have never owned a stealth, but when I was talking to Bourbon about the custom cruisers she made it very clear to me that the cruiser is not better or worse than the stealth-they are different. It's evident that the gliders have to WORK to use the cruisers, and I say this because it took a while for my gliders to figure out how to get it to go around. Now that they've got it though I hear their little nails clicking on it all the time. And that's the ONLY thing I hear...it's sooo quiet (but then, so is the stealth, right?) I would definitely say get a cruiser and see if you and your gliders like it

WOW! I have some VERY useful information here! Thank you all so much. Hearing everyone's experiences is so very helpful! I think I'm going with the colony cruiser for the kids ~ I really appreciate you taking measurements. And I think a tall theraputic cruiser for my other 2. And yes, I do have plans to get with Bourbon. We attempted a call one night but I was too late getting my PM and she had already turned her phone off. Anyway, Taaska is sleeping in a hammock now and that alone has made a huge difference. As far as reaching in the cage, well, Tiki & MoJo ain't about to let that cage door come open without getting some momma love! I couldn't get to Taaska if I tried. So as soon as the new babies are weaned I can put all the kids in the mansion that arrived today (yipee!) and I can have some 'quiet' time with momma. I'm really looking forward to bonding with her. I've followed everyone's posts dealing with their own so I'm very hopeful. Oh, did I miss it? Did anyone say anything about nail trimming in the cruiser. I clip mine but it would be nice for them to not get SO sharp!

The stealth nail trimmers do fit the cruisers, so you'd be safe to buy those. I don't think Bourbon makes any specifically for the CC wheel though.

Really, comparing the Stealth to the Crusier is not a fair thing. They really are very different. They are only similar in that they use bucket lids and they are both quiet and safe. The entire construction of them is different.
