it will still be wound onto the rim with a binding agent Dave.... the test is weather or not it has the same hardness / durability as natural rubber. as stated above they tend to spin it onto the rim, cure it / steam it to the correct hardness then profile the wheel on a lathe. the problem with our carriers is the horns on the tracks tend to catch the edge of the wheels and chunks of rubber can get torn out... the only way to see if the material is ok to use is to folk out and test it

Hey Dave,it is not polyurethane over rubber.They remove the rubber entirely.In fact most of my wheels did not have any rubber at all.They did ask for the first wheel to have rubber so they could test the hardness and mesure the profile.
They bonded the poly to the wheel and I expect that it will outlast me by a long time.

Thanks clarkray for the the contact info (and the quick response) and all you that responded asking all the other tangible questions. Considering the required quality of the end-product, and if it stands up to the usage, it's a pretty good buy.

OK,that's what I would have thought to be the best way.Going to be very interested to see how this works.
I am wondering about using a mold fabbed from a good wheel,and injecting polyurethane.Any thoughts on this? Is it worth a try,or should I just forget about it?

wheels
I have bought two of these trollies last week and am collecting on Thursday, I spoke with him on the phone today, he asked what they were off so I told him, he now seems to have doubled the asking price on the remaining trolly. I think £47 a wheel is two much. will post up some pics of what he has remaining Thursday.
