I'm going to bite the bullet and buy some Wheelez

I am aware that all the lesser set ups end up disappointing, and the home built options just aren't as functional, so I'm going to order up.

The link from this site has them for 222.00- has anyone done better recently?  Any sales out there?  Let me know, and thanks!

Sometimes REI has a 20% off coupon for one Item. I don't know when there next one will come out.

Seems kinda hi compared to when I bought mine, perhaps they've raised their price recently, I think you can get them thru hook 1 with a 10% discount.   

Call Aquan, they usually have them in stock and 10% NCKA discount.

189 at aquan

Just make sure that they have it in stock at Aquan. I was told that they had it until I got there.

Another option is Outback for 199 - 10%.

Great set of wheels and they glide over sand.

After the problems a lot of NCKA members had with the last Wheeleez group order, are there going to be any more group order with them in the future? Was the group order price much cheaper than Aquan or Hook1 with the 10% NCKA discount?

I saw Wheeleez is in Benecia, anyone know if you can go there and buy direct?

I bought mine at the place in Benecia, but that was at least 5 years ago. Same price as stores, but they threw in a low pressure tire gauge.  They were located in those big warehouses just to the north of the bridge near the mothball fleet.   
  They are the greatest carts.  I strap my yak to them and bounce them down and back up the stairs at the ramp at stillwater south so I don't have to carry.  On sand, I don't even strap them on, just put them under the seat area and they seem to stay put unless you hit a big bump.
   Try to keep the sand out of the hole the axel goes through. I replaced the axel pins with hairpin-like clips I got at OSH.  Only bad part is that you have to lock it up and hide them better than your homemade cart.

Last time I was at MBK in Monterey they had a Wheeleez for sale, and it was the old school Rolleez style with the better tires. I was tempted to buy it for myself because I have the newer style w/the crappier tires. They give a 10% discount too.

What exactly is it that makes the new tires crappy?
I bought the new style from Bill ( w/ tread ) and they seem to work fine

Looks like Aquan has them, and they give us NCKA folks a little discount, so they will be seeing me soon.

Thanks for the response.

Eric, some people had problems with those wheels. They were made with a different material from the ones without the tread. I might get one of the new generation wheels that are about to come out. They have foam inside the wheel so they can never get a flat. Not sure if they're available yet though. jim

Thanks Jim,
I will look into the new wheels ... sounds intresting not being able to ever get a flat
Not to beat a dead horse, but I still haven't heard exactly what the problem was ... just that they had a problem.
If anyone could elaborate exactly what was wrong with the newer style wheels, I would really like to know for my own piece of mind.
Thanks for any info avail.

See Ya Soon,
