Anyone know the make of these wheels?

I can't find the same as yours anywhere in the UK but very similar are sold in Canada http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boat-dolly-tran ... SwAHZUMJJI so yours maybe came from Russia
Myself and others use a very similar type of mechanism with the sprung locators but with a central pivot like this

transom wheels with pivot

Hi all

My frib came with wheels attached to it as it was an ex display model

I was wanting to find out what type they are because I am going to try and get another set of transom brackets to fit to my honwave - I can then use the one set of wheels on both the frib + the honwave

Anyone any ideas ?

They don't pivot -just on or off -but they can be stowed upright

Thanks

I have these, I don't like them that much as I find them a pain putting on and off
I'm ok with the left hand one, but the right one I struggle with, especially when it is cold.

Thanks guys

I emailed frib but they don't have any spare brackets to buy so it looks like i would have to buy a whole new set

I'll probably get different ones for my honwave as there are maybe more suitable ones for it

James I find them a bit fiddly to get them on when in the water. I was going to swap the tyres for the sandhopper ones as the pneumatic ones keep wanting to float as I'm trying to get then on

Cheers

Here's the place Martin and I got ours from http://www.angleseymarinesupplies.com/d ... olleys.php towards the bottom of the page £85.99 ...... BTW they do the sand hopper wheels you've mentioned for £9.99 to save you postage charges
I believe these are the same wheels and seller on Ebay for £100 postage included http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Launching-Whe ... SwjVVVxg-d there's a video you can watch to see how they work.
You can swap out the pivot bolt with a 8mm diameter drop nose pin as we've done to save you messing about with spanners to remove and refit them.

I'll add to Paul's post..
And fitting/removal is a doddle..
with the drop nose pin as a swivel, up/down operation is a piece of cake. Completely remove or fit the launch wheels in seconds- tool
I do wish I'd bought the longer ones though, but these I have will do for now.

Thanks guys

I find them fiddly too. By he time I've unclipped them to lower the wheels, Paul and co have already landed on the beach while I've drifted lol
