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? Fred A194 Easy-Roll Rubber-Tread Wheels 3 1/2" to 6" Dia. 8" to 10" Dia.

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 (the text and graphics can't get thru the matronics server). This "Easy-Roll Rubber-Tread Wheel" (McMaster part # 2439T42) is described as "Resilient rubber tread rebounds quickly, so you can roll and turn easily on most surfaces. The maintenance-free precision ball 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?
