Wheel modification on MTS case?
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:12 am
I'm looking for ideas, please, on modifying a new fiberglass KLM case. This is for my Willson 3050RZ, which weighs about 27 pounds. The disadvantages of the factory wheels are:
--small diameter (creating a tendency to hit hard every crack and chipped spot in normal concrete sidewalks), and
--too close together (causing the case to oscillate from one wheel to the other upon hitting small bumps, and nearly to tip over during turns).
Obviously, the two wheels are mounted on two short axles--instead of one longer axle--because the case folds open. There's not a lot of support structure for the axles, and the fiberglass is fairly thin.
Maybe a pair of bicycle training wheels is in order? Thanks for your comments and ideas.
