Brake calipers and removing wheels

Hi guys,
Quick question
When you've removed the wheels from your MTB for transporting, what do you place in between the brake pads to stop them from closing if the brake lever is accidentally pressed?
I got some plastic things from my local bike shop a while ago but I lost them, I don't know what they were called so I could get some more!
Thanks

the pad spacers that should have been supplied with the brakes/bike.
or something else clean."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Your LBS will likely have a bucket of pad spacer blocks somewhere if you lost your original ones. They tend to be brake specific though so ask for the right thing
otherwise I used to use a but of bent over corrugated cardboard
but proper pad spacers are what you want.Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day0 -
