English term or phrase: skid
Hi All,

This is about a trolley case (carry-on luggage) with wheels. I was hoping you could help me with the term "skid". Here's some more context:

"ABC [name of the collection] has now made the wheel skids easily replaceable as a level 1 repair in the unlikely event one becomes damaged. Making the skid only replaceable eliminates the need to replace the entire wheel, a much easier and quicker in-store repair."

"ABC’s 2-wheeled styles feature XXX’s intelligent wheel design that has re-purposed in-line skate wheel technology to create incredibly smooth, quiet and easy-glide wheels. ABC wheel housings are made from polypropylene which absorbs impact, protects critical wear points and shields the axle system from grit and dirt. Integrated skid bars protect bags when rolled over curbs and help to strengthen the bags."

Thank you very much in advance!

Kufe


Explanation:
I expect that this refers to the parallel plastic bars on the bottom of the case that prevent the case rubbing on the ground.

Asker: Thank you very much for your effort, it certainly gave me a good idea of what this may refer to! However, I don't think "Kufe" is the correct term here. Thanks anyway!
