Wheeleez Issues

I took another look at my Wheeleez, and noticed that they are actually the older Roleez. When you took apart your Roleez, did you find the same parts as in my picture? Did it come with 20 mm (3/4") bearings?

There are 2 ways I can think of to salvage those wheels.
1) Buy the $25 bearing kit and try it. If they fit your hubs, then you are good to go. If not then spend an additional $10 on a new hub. ($20 if you melted the bearings on both wheels)
2) Find someone who will let you take apart their newer Wheeleez, and do a bearing swap to see if it fits. If they fit, then you can just buy the bearing kit.

Here are the service instructions for wheeleez:

And if you insist on towing your Roleez behind your truck, you can try one of these high speed bearings.

Apparently, Wheeleez are used on ultralights.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Great info, Krusty - Thanks!  I may be too lazy though!   

If someone wants a free guided trip to the Lost Coast this summer for fixing my wheels just get in touch with me.  No shit.   

I looked at Krusty's pic of his bearings and noted it said Roleze on the plate.  They look exactly like my late model Wheeleez bearing and plate.

They would probably work.  Of course that's my opinion, which is easy to give from where I sit.

Good Luck Eric,

How about for wishing you the best of luck in getting it fixed?
BTW~Best of luck!

I do free Lost Coast trips anyway.  It was a Jedi mind trick... 

Salmon season starts in April, pending the final word from groups that are meeting now and later this month into April.  Locals are guessing anywhere from first weekend in April to mid April for Shelter Cove and early May for Eureka/Trinidad.  I'll be going early and often, so watch for the reports to see how the bite will be early in the season.

Sorry but those pix really cracked me up!! how fast were you going?

No sorries for allowing me to provide an LOL.     I was going about 20 as Domenic sat on the tailgate for about 4 miles.  Funny thing is I didn't even notice they were messed up for several trips afterward. 

Both wheels suffered the same fate.

How about I ship them to you and you ship them back?  Are you coming to Gimme Shelter?

Io free Lost Coast trips anyway.

I am headed down Mike's direction on the fifteenth and would be happy to fascilitate the exchange. Depending on how fast mike can turn it around I can bring it back too. I need to spend a few hours in twain Harte, probably on the seventeenth.

Doug - that would be awesome!  I've sent Mike a proposal, so I'll get back to you, and thanks!   

I'm too rough on gear to buy those high speed bearings!  They'd die a slow speed death along dozens of miles of Lost Coast sand.     Besides, they don't come in my axel diameter!   

Or maybe just build one of these with the roleez wheels....
