Looking to buy 10" wheels for a barrow I'm making either puncture proof of pneumatic. What do I need to use for axles? Saw one of the wheels statd 19-mm bearings but I cant seem to find 19-mm steel anywhere. Is the bearing size the aperture size? |

James, Typical axle material is silver steel or for heavy duty applications EN24T. The wheels we currently stock have either a 5/8" bore or a 19mm bore. This means the axle diameter has to be slightly under this dimension. The bearings are not especially accurate with respect to the bore size. The 5/8" is a nominal 15.875mm and some customers have used 16mm silver steel with these. This may mean turning the diameter down slightly on a lathe or with some wet and dry paper. Hope that is of some help. See http://www.technobots.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d472.html for silver steel. |

Let's be honest, these wheels are rather cheap and cheerful and designed for trolleys etc. However, we have had customers use them for everything from sand yachts to scooters. The quality of the bearings fall far short of that you get from our standard range of individual bearings. Nothing wrong at all with the hub and tyres and the bearings are fine for most applications but don't expect too much for a tenner really. We have used them extensively in robots for years without bearing failure and will continue to do so. |

Hi Andre, Certainly none of our pneumatic wheels have a 20mm bore. However, you can easily remove the tyre and tube by unbolting the 4 bolts that sandwich the two halves of the hub together. Just be aware of the two types of tread pattern we have and that the air valve has a 90 degree set in it on the non-offset type wheels. |

I am trying to build a powered go kart for garden use. Wheels part number 4260-002 are stated as being intended to be supported from both sides. Part no 4260-001 doesnt carry this comment. What is the difference between these tow wheels? Is 4260-001 suitable for mounting at tne end of an axel as would apply on a go kart? |

Trevor, Thank you for your enquiry. The two types are offset and non-offset. The non-offset have a boss protruding from both sides of the wheel into which is inserted a bearing at each end. This type of wheel is used between forks i.e. wheel barrow style. The offset type has a protrusion on one side only and again has a bearing in the end, it also has a bearing on the other end of the same protrusion which finishes in the centre line of the wheel. It's hard to explain but basically this wheel is designed to be supported from one side only. |
