I found an old message from that group order. Papa Bill put it together. It was in 2007 and I paid $127.03. I still have them and they're in great shape.

It's a quality product.

Is it Wheeleze or the former Rolleze????

I got mine at the same time and the tires say Wheeleez. I picked them up at the warehouse in Benica that was a great deal used the treaded tires for awhile then got the smoothies. I thought Don put that deal together, I know he did all the leg work.

Yep, mine says Wheeleez too. You're right Mike, Don picked up the orders in Benicia for some of the group. He did the tire swap for me too.

3 things I suggest
 
When I got my Wheeleez, I bought a used set with the regular wheels for $50 from somebody on the site and I only use the big tires for sand or soft ground. The hard rubber tires are also easier pull on hard ground.

I put car wax on my wheels

Take the wheels off after salt trips and get all the salt and sand out of the bushings.

I have three next to new (maybe used once or twice) sets of the newer ones that had plans for my sons and I to use, but we used two of them, one time at Lake Almanor and another time at Trinidad just to try them out. Basically I can not remember which ones were used because they all look new. Anyone up in the Redding area want to make me a reasonable offer for one , two or all three. I can't remember, but we bought them a few years back from Headwaters. Need to start clearing out all the stuff I am not using so someone can. PM me if interested :smt006

Probably not... just not using them and having been sitting in our rec room. I am going through a season where as much as I like reading these forums, I am not able to get out much due to work, back issues and kids grown up and out. I have collected so much stuff since I was always buying in threes.  :smt044 I have to think about selling my 2014 Jackson Cuda 12 and Pro Camo Blade T-700 Angler 240CM as well....maybe one of my extra Hobie Revos. Sad to look at this stuff just sitting here... but life is good.  :smt001

I have recurring lower back issues. So very much sympathetic with you there.

My doc says everyone has some kind of back issues :smt010 Last Thanksgiving I was so medicated I really do not remember three days of my life. Slow recovery and I am avoiding injections or the knife so PT is really helping. No complaining just sharing that it could always be worse. Looking forward to real salt water therapy. Hope to see you on the water. :smt006
