Description
 
The Schacht Sidekick is now available.  This is the brand new portable wheel from Schacht that is turning heads. I got a chance to spin on it at TNNA and it is all that it's cracked up to be. You can tell the design was well thought through and spins really smoothly. All of the flyer mechanisms, whorls, and bobbins will interchange with other Schacht wheels which is really cool. And yes, they will have a Bulky Flyer for this wheel as well in the near future.  Schacht thought of everything on this one, spins great, reasonably priced with all the whorls, stability and quality you expect from a Schacht Wheel.

The wheel is also available for $50 less if you don't want the flyer assembly and already own a Matchless or Ladybug and will be using the flyer from your existing wheel, etc.  Call us at the shop if you would like to order the wheel without flyer.
Features
Here are some of the Sidekick's features:
  • Folds to 21 1/2" x 15" x 8 1/4".
  • Integrated storage of bobbins, flyer, and whorls for transport.
  • Lightweight at 13 pounds.
  • 13 3/4" drive wheel allows for ratios between 4.25 to 15.25.
  • Long, comfortable treadles.
  • Uses the same bobbins, whorls and flyer as the Schacht Matchless and Ladybug wheels.
  • The Sidekick can be purchased without the bobbin-flyer assembly.
  • 25" orifice height for comfortable spinning.
  • Employs Scotch tension with precise control knob.
  • The drive wheel spins on ball bearings. The flyer turns on self-aligning bearings.
  • Drive band tension adjuster allows for all whorls to be used with one drive band.

The Sidekick comes with 3 bobbins, 2 whorls, threading hook, and adjustable
carrying strap.  Also available: The Sidekick Bulky Plyer Flyer Package can be added at any
time.


Note: We have had some questions about the Sidekicks weight compared to the
Ladybug.  We re-weighed the Ladybug, and she has gained a little over the
years--mainly due to the drive wheel change.  For comparison, the Ladybug
official weight is 13.5  pounds.

My new favorite wheel September 12, 2011
Reviewer: Kimberly from Florida  
I thought that when I ordered my Sidekick that it would be a wonderful little wheel to take on the road with me.  Now that I have it, I prefer spinning with it over my Minstrel.  It is so smooth and easy to use.  I'm thrilled with this wonderful, portable, easy to use spinning wheel.
