Where can I get cheap-ish wheels for my kayak?

Eric B,

If you are getting the big balloon tires...they are big.  Rolleze is making a smaller balloon tires now.  If you go to their website.  They have the dimensions there.  I have not seen the smaller balloon tires yet and just guessing that they don't work that well on sand as the bigger ones.

The Roleez or Wheeleez as they are now known are the best...hands down. BTDT. The new "mini" version IMHO sucks for our boats, they are made for storage constrained touring boats and simply don't have the magic of their big brothers.  Yes, They are expensive, but they are durable and you will never regret spending the money.  Almost everyone that buys they cheaper ones, eventually ends up getting the good ones, so save yourself the grief and some money and get the good ones the first time.

If sand in never going to be in your future, do the dolley/harbor freight thing it is cheap and works well.

Thanks,  Sean.

I was wondering if the midsize ones were any good.

Been-There-Done-That too!

I've wasted time and money building my own carts, but in the end the big 11" balloon tire Wheeleez cart was the only reliable one.  Learn from our mistakes!

Update on our Wheeleez. After our trip to Lake Mendocino this weekend, we've decided that my wife needs to upgrade from the mini wheeleez cart to the full size Wheeleez. Those little wheels made it too tough for my small wife to pull her T140 over rocks on the beach. She was watching me roll right over small rocks with my large cart and P15. Those same rocks gave her all kinds of trouble and now she has changed her tune about absolutely needing to be able to store the whole cart inside her yak.

Go with the standard Wheeleez cart! 

Go with the big ballon tires if your doing tne beach.

Good thing I haven't order the 8" Wheeleez yet!  Thank you for all the advises, I'll get the "BIG" Wheeleez.

Here you go... now you can get the best for cheap...
