Re: What kind of wheels do you use?

nice thread, its giving me some ideas...anyway

what 1403 used last season was a 5" x 1" rubber wheel from McMaster-Carr, the advantages though a bit heavier were that we could staple teflon to any of the wheels that we wanted to so they could be used to slide around a bit. As well as they had no spokes at all really so were very durable. The wheels generated more than enough friction with the carpet to move around. However for the upcoming season we are looking into a waffle tread, our research is showing that there is some good results with it.
