Handles, wheels and wheel housings are usually the first to be damaged. That's why when I purchased my B&R spinner, I purchased the entire set of wheels and a handle.

On major extensive trips I pack two different wheels including the housing and one handle to be safe than sorry. They don't take up much room at all. I don't ever plan to ship or take my B&R to a shop, because it's just an inconvenience for me.

Here's their replacement parts you can buy in advance:
