| Subject: | outrigger wheels |
Guys...I've been looking into substitutes for the kit-provided
outrigger wheel, and thought I'd found the answer with a Colson
Performa wheel which comes w/ sealed ball bearings. After Kingsley
acquainted me w/ the distinction between "sealed ball bearings" and
"maintenance-free precision ball bearings" I found the following in
the McMaster catalogue (I hope the text and graphics gets thru the
matronics server). This "Easy-Roll Rubber-Tread Wheel" (McMaster part
# 2439T42) which comes with "maintenance-free precision ball bearings"
has a ridiculous low price of $7.81. I've queried McMaster, and they
confirm that yes, it does come w/ these bearings. I'm wondering if
anyone has tried them and can comment on their performance.
Or...has anyone found the ultimate outrigger wheel?

described as "Resilient rubber tread rebounds quickly, so you can roll

bearings require minimal effort to get these wheels rolling". It is
blue rubber on a nylon core, has a Durometer of 70A, and is rated at
250 pounds. It also has a ridiculous low price of $7.81. I've queried
McMaster, and they confirm that yes, it does come w/ double precision
bearings...I've yet to determine whether they are double-shielded, or
double-sealed. They require a 3/8" shaft, so a sleeve bushing would be
required in order to stay with the 5/16" bolts.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried them and can comment on their
performance. Or...has anyone found the ultimate outrigger wheel?
