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?

Blue rubber on nylon core
Durometer is 70A
Temperature range is -40° to +200° F

   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.

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?
