Hello -
Pursuant to the following quote:
" 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."
I find the wheel of note to be on page 1348 and #2439T42 to be $8.20
- not niggling, just making sure...... I will have to ask someone to
order for me as am obviously another one of those 11SEP Canadians attempting
a outrigger coup.
Ferg
PS: all thanks for the info!

Subject: | outrigger wheels |
I am one of those mono guys that has been using the scooter wheel since
day one on my Eruopa. Not realizing just how good these little wheel ar
e I purchased several sets from the local sporting goods store thinking
I was going be changing them out frequently. However, after seven years
of flying I am still only on my second pair. These wheels are the 100m
m diameter with abec 5 bearings. I don't know what the hardness of thes
e are however, they seem to be soft. I made my own mouting hardware, ge
tting rid of the Europa bracket. The wheels fit perfectly within the wi
dth of the outrigger leg. The scooter wheels are significantly lighter,
very durable, long lasting, and quite. The lighter weight may even hel
p keep the outriggers from sagging.
Regards,
Erich Trombley

Hi Ferg...thanks for the price update on those wheels!!...the $7.81
price was good back in Sept. '09.
BTW, I don't know of anyone who has inspected or mounted that
particular wheel. Although it's still reasonably priced, as I learned
more about the world of precision bearings, there are multiple grades
(ABEC ratings). If I recall correctly, these "Easy-Roll" wheels,
although they do have "maintenance-free precision bearings", they have
the lowest possible rating.
I wouldn't imagine that parts ordered from www.skates.com would raise
any eyebrows with the technology-transfer-police...see my email of 31
Mar 10. The wheels I ordered came w/ ABEC 5 bearings...for a few more
bucks I also ordered some ABEC 9 bearings, but frankly, the wheels w/
the #5 bearings are wonderful silent spinners and I see Eric Trombley
has had good experience with them.
Cheers,
Fred

Ferg, my god man, don't you realize that shopping trolly's are weapon of
mass destruction ? Haven't you seen how much damage one of those things ca
n
do in the wrong hands ? Imagine what could happen if a shopping trolly got
in the hands of the Taliban ? Those guys could take out a Humvee in the
twinkling of an eye.
Seriously though, I have been using Colston casters for years, and they las
t
a long time.

Pete,
I've sold out this batch and it hasn't arrived yet. I don't think I
could get a kit from Huntsman and make it in two weeks.
Sorry,
I'll see what I can do.
Bud

Hi Bud,
Are you still looking for additional takers? If so, I may be
interested in 1 quart if it could be shipped to the UPS store in
Odgenburg NY within 2 weeks (as I have something else to pick up there).
Many thanks,
Pete

US Europaphiles,
Anyone in need of Redux?
Two other builders and I each need a kit. Anyone else want to get
in on it. Saves about $35 on hazardous fees per kit. A case ships for
the same price as a quart.
Last purchase price was about $270 with shipping/hazardous (think of
the children)...
