Need tail wheel assembly
I need to replace the entire pneumatic tail wheel unit on my 2006 LAK17AT - bearings, rim, tube, and tire.
Does anyone have a source they could recommend? Thanks in advance! Lou - cross posted from the LAK17 Yahoo Group

Also consider your W+B while doing this, now might be the time to use the brass tailwheel option should you wish to move C/G aft. Jim

The ones in the HP-24 kits come from Monster Scooter Supply; they're the standard 200x50 Razor scooter front wheel. We haven't had any trouble with them.

Lou - cross posted from the LAK17 Yahoo Group I have had good results searching for tailwheels for gliders at wheel chair parts sites. Google "wheelchair front caster". My favorite supplier "MobilityDirect" appears to have gone away, unfortunately. http://www.wheelchairparts.net may be a good place to start.

My favorite supplier "MobilityDirect" appears to have gone away, unfortunately. http://www.wheelchairparts.net may be a good place to start. That's the place I got a new tail-wheel tire for my Libelle, which was white and an odd size. They seemed to have a good selection. Uli 'AS'
