Pending no major wrenches in next years game, we'll likely do the same, with some improvements.

I've been using Colsons off and on since 05 and I couldn't agree more. The wheels simply require no maintenance once you assemble your drive. They come in an extremely wide array of sizes and widths too, which allows you to really pinpoint a wheel size that works best for you. Getting a little creative with them can also yield some higher CoF which puts them on par (or better) than some other common wheels/treads.
