Swedish term

lösa hjul

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Wheels
Hello

in the phrase "lösa hjul och länkhjul",

I understand that "lösa hjul" are wheels sold without any attachments (just the wheel)

and "länkhjul" are castors

but do we have a phrase for "lösa hjul"

It's just that "loose wheels" sounds like a bit of a misnomer (a wheel that is coming off) and "free wheels" does not sound much better (costs nothing)

Maybe I'm having a bad Monday morning but is there a better term?

Thanks

Separate wheels and castors I'm with Deane, “separate wheels and castors” is the best, IMHO.

If they are selling 'plain' wheels I'd say 'wheels and castors' (spelling may vary). If you want to specify, perhaps *separate wheels and castors* is better.
But I'm presuming this is like furniture or similar.
