Nail polish or a mixture of some deep earth salted African dirt and gorilla glue.

The rule of thumb is that if you don't like anything about an item: its best not to buy it. I would leave the wheel as it is and not try to "crappify" it. Listen to hairnet: put a brake on it

Put black jellybeans on the braking surface and leave it out in the hot, hot sun.

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.
