I just thought of something. Since you are taking apart 2x2 wheels,
why not use two of them. If you snip off one of the loops that holds the
axel on, then the two 2x2 axel bricks will sit flush to each other, and
you have a 2x4 axel brick.

Actually, it was Ross’ idea to use just one, but here is why I wouldn’t use 2.
Cutting the wheel out to me was no big deal. I would never use the element as
it was. Now, cutting the brick is another story. Now you have committed its
use for life-- there is no turning back. I know that that sounds contradictory,
but somehow Ross’ way seems less like mutilation to me than yours. Besides,
your way would require twice as many bricks to cut;-)
