Re: Why such large wheels?

We use 12 inch pnuematic wheels - 3 per side. The reason is three fold - they are grippy for climbing, a completed purchased assembly that we have little work to do to modify for use, and best of all they cost about $7 per wheel including the bearing.

We used them over the past 4 years, and have gotten used to them and like them alot.
