Re: dualie vs. single omni wheels

The only difference between dualie and single omni wheels is the smoothness in straight direction travel. The gap between the rollers on a single causes a "bumpy ride" The dualie smooths this. As for changes in the transverse motion there should not be a noticeable difference although you do have the chance that you will be in between rollers when turning causing edge wear on your rollers but does not effect performance. .
