kayak cart wheels

I'm looking for the pros and cons of the Malone 8" rover wheel, and the same with the 30cm wheeeleez.
and which one will perform better in the soft sand, and last the longest in the worst environment.

I have a c-tug that has a 1" wheel shaft for the kiwi wheels.
I cant find a 6-8" wheel that will work.
so looking at other options.

Any thoughts?
Thanks 4est

These are the ones you want... everyone who has them will tell you they are the best.

Get the Wheeleze, don't be the 10,000 guy (like me) to try to save $$$ only to spend more $$$ on the Wheeleze after the others fail.

thank you

+1 on Wheeleez. Buy once and hurt once but be happy forever. 

I give up on this topic. I suggest some Malone wheels

I have Malone wheels. Love em.
I don't go on sand, so no problem there. Apparently they suck in the sand, dunno never tried.
Good price and they have lasted me 4 years now.

I have Malone cart with the rover wheels. It's very well made and works great, however I haven't had it on sand and got it from someone (Fish 'n Brew?) here on the forum who wanted something (Wheeleez) that worked better in the sand.

I'll give the malone a try in the sand before deciding, but this video



and this video


convinced me that wheeleez are indeed as awesome as people say and I'll likely get some eventually.

Malone will work if you never plan on seeing deep sand. Hard pack, roads etc are fine.

Had the Malone, after getting the wheeleze they went into the trash great on concrete, horrible in sand. They're like you are plowing the fields the wheeleze are a very smart investment, don't know why I struggled over the years with the other kart... Oh wait, that's because they are 8x cheaper!!

Get the wheeleze and a couple suitcase locks for your tires rather then the pins, you'll be stoked!

This question will be asked by noobs for perpetuity. It really should go in an FAQ.

Being more stubborn than most,

 I built a couple karts from heavy PVC and some pretty good looking wheels (5" wide) that despite their looks sucked in the sand,

After awhile I finally bought just the Wheeleze wheel/tire to put on my kart,

After a bit longer the kart disintegrated as all PVC karts eventually do,

Wheeleze doesn't sell just the frames, (they do sell just wheels).

So I sold the wheels to a member here who wanted to go thru the same pain I (and many others) had.

And finally bought the Wheeleze kart

and that's all I have to say bout that.

There is no replacement for Wheeleze. I struggled with a crap brand for years then finally bit the bullet and dropped the cash. Best investment I've made with kayaking equipment.

Buy Wheeleze.

I have the Wheeleeze cart pictured in the first link, but with the narrower Wheeleeze tread tires. Next thing I am going to do is replace the wheels with the wide ones. Places I go are sandy and the narrow tires suck in the sand until I get to the hard packed stuff.  Definitely a case of get up off of the wallet the first time and save the money you would have spent on anything you're going to hate.

Yup, I'm a cheap bastard, tried to make some, tried to buy some (like those Malone) cheap off of Amazon, broke a few, fought with a few more, bought a set of Wheelez and kicked myself in the ass for not doing it in the first place. I got mine from Headwaters in Lodi, really great folks who support NCKA, I would buy everything from them if I could.
