Default Carrier wheels

I'm in for a 1/2 dozen (depending on cost!). I'm certain there are lots more chunked up carrier wheels out there.

Cheers! Mike

I have had four wheels redone in urethane.The company stripped them and recovered and turned them back to specs.Not cheep because of the shipping but they came out great.

Default Rerubbering bogies: US & Canada

Ray,

Thanks for posting the address of URS. Any US crews out there might be better off sending their bogies to URS. I'm sure Canadian customs and duties paperwork might be a pain in the butt for you guys.

As soon as I find out the pricing, I will post price, company address and contact information for Canadian crews.

Regards, Richard

Hello,

What happened with the re-rubbering plans from over a year ago in the UK?
I believe Richard "The Bricklayer" was the initiator then? I am still interested in pooling together and getting a quantity of wheels re-rubbered.

Cheers,

Thanks Alan ! West yorkshire is not far for me at all... i have about 8 wheels need doing plus 4 on the carrier itself.



Marc:-

the chap in North shields gave me a quote but was loaded up with work he was not very interested to be fair.... the other contact was located near london and was cost prohibitive to send stuff to... he did say he would do bulk discount ?

i can start the ball rolling again with the new contacts provided it wont take me long to get some quotes through

Alan,

Thank you for the company info. Have you ever done business with them or do you know of others who have?

Richard, that would be nice. I can bring wheels coming to Beltring. Would need to find a way to get them to you or one of these companies though. Let's see what they quote.

Cheers,
