I have a couple of MTS cases and have not had any problems with them... despite them being several years old and used A LOT. I am a repairman and I've seen cases (and instruments) totally destroyed by carelessness. Those wheels aren't made for all-terrain use and should last a long time if a little caution is exercised. A crack in a sidewalk can easily damage the wheels. You can get information regarding what dealer to contact for replacement parts by visiting the MTS website at http://www.mtsproducts.com/pgs/musical.html They may even sell parts direct. I don't know.

On a side-note.... I never had an MTS case that could be pulled along behind without the darned thing wobbling from side-to-side. Having to push the case along in front is more likely to damage a wheel. I put extra wheels on my cases so they can be wheeled along in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.

I use an MTS case. I carry the case over rough pavement and roll it on reasonably smooth surfaces and sidewalks. I believe if I look after the wheels, they will look after me. The cases are not idiot proof for one good reason: Make something idiot proof, and the world will invent a better idiot.

I must confess that it wasn't me. It's been around. I first saw it in computer science. Something like: Write a program that is foolproof, and the world will invent a better fool.

Shhh, you're supposed to say, "thank you, I'm flattered, made it up myself, completely original." :lol:
