Kayak Cart renovation
So had real miserable cart wheels. the kayak would slip off, I felt like an ox plowing a field pulling across the sand.
This was my second set of wheels of this type. Turns out I found a "never flat" all purpose wheel at home depot. Have to buy a set of 4 approx $60.
the wheels have 2 bearings in each and are 5/8s. so a 5/8 lag bolt on each side almost exactly fits perfect into the old axle. With a bit of electric tape at a couple of spots for a super snug fit, I hammered them into the old axle and they are snug and spin really well. I may try to drill a tap screw or something. we'll see.
A few outings so far. a world of difference vs. what I had. Let's see if it holds up longer than a year.
