Where to buy a jockey wheel for a Komet trailer in Berlin? by Morteza Ansari
My Komet trailer's jockey wheel is on its way and I have been too cheap to order one and pay more than the cost of the part for shipping! I happen to be in Berlin this week and can pick one up. Does anyone know a shop I can buy one in Berlin?
