Norm Rowe would have been the one to ask. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us.

it is head and shoulders better than the typical $150 nylon bag- fits my 186 a bit snug- but offers tremendous protection around the bell...when carried like a suitcase, it balances nicely...the backpack carry straps are pure crap- I replaced with a double padded setup off of an old golf bag...I have no idea what model number is, or what to order to replace it. their lack of a clearly defined sizing guide is really a huge hindrance to whatever marketing they are trying to do...there is also the pull out rain cover, lets hope I never need that...if the wheelie is similar, I would expect it to be pretty well put together...jamsav
