This message is from: Steve McIlree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> While I'm refinishing my country cart this winter, I've been driving my metal easy entry cart. It's one of the common ones from Frontier with spoked pneumatic wheels. Anyway, several weeks ago Pferd took an unscheduled detour thru the woods to avoid some carnivorous cattle, and we ended up popping a spoke on a tree root. This was the incentive I needed to finally order a set of replacement wheels from Paul Milton. If anyone else has been thinking about these wheels, I'm writing to encourage you to go ahead and get them. The wheels I got are 34 inch diameter, replacing the 25 inch wheels that come on the cart. The wheels and spokes are solid steel, with sealed ball bearings, and they have a solid rubber buggy tire set in. The extra height gained by the larger diameter wheels is wonderful, although I don't sit as high as in my country cart, my eye-level is now well above Pferd's back, giving me a much better view of the road. In addition, the wheels roll much smoother than the old ones, and on our test drive yesterday, I had to hold Mr. P back because the wind blast in the cold air was causing my eyes to water too much. He's going to be able to really move this cart now. And one more benefit of the new wheels is they make this light, maneuverable cart show-legal. I intend to start using it in obstacle classes at pleasure shows. So once again, if you've thought about replacement wheels for your easy entry, I encourage you to go ahead and order them.
