What Wheeleez Wheel To Buy?

I need to replace one of my old school Rolleez wheels due to a broken valve or something in the stem.

I know I need the 30cm Polyurethane wheel, but they have 1/2" bushing, 3/4" bearing, and 1" bearing options. Which one is needed for our carts?

I meant to go measure mine last night but never got around to it. I'm at work now and want to order one ASAP so I have it for Shelter.

Cheers.

Dustin- I'd try filling a bucket with some water first and hold the wheel under the water to see if or where it bubbles. You might just need a new valve stem core which are only a buck or two with the tool and are super easy to replace.

But if its non-repairable I believe its the 1/2" bushing

Good to know. I know the problem is the stem because I saw the valve fall apart in my hand! I'll give that a shot first. Thanks, bro!

If the new valve still leaks. Try those valve extenders from auto parts stores. My wheeleze wheel kept deflating and I even replaced the valve core with a new one. I submerged in water and didn't see any bubbles anywhere. But after a few days it'd still deflate. Almost replaced the wheel itself. I then saw these valve stem extenders from autozone. Installed them so I can use any type of pump. To my surprise, the wheel holds air now. The extender works like a one way valve. I can pump air in, but wouldn't release when I press on it, weird really. The only drawback is that they stick out. Hope that helps

Since you're ready to buy a new wheel there's no downside to trying a tire sealer, The green stuff is what I'm thinking but can't remember the name, it works, it will even seal up a leaking valve core.  Any cycle shop ought to have something like it.

Also I believe the shaft size is 3/4.  But my cart is only a few years old.

Thanks for the tip Herb!

Thanks, Erik. You saved me around $50. Just had to replace the valve, which I didn't even know you could do.

I owe you a beer or twelve next time I see you. 

Also, there are valve caps that have the slotted top to check the tightness of the core



About a buck a piece at any auto parts store.  I put these on every valve I have; carts, trailers, truck, car, bikes, motorcycles, wheelbarrow, etc.  Seems those cores can come loose and make you think you got a valve or tube problem when you really don't.
