Lapp Wagons Plastic Spoke Wheels for Garden Carts - Set of 2 Durable Flat Free Wheels - 20" x1.95" with 5/8" Bearing

We live in a mountainous area. Our Rubbermaid cart gets very heavy duty use with firewood, dirt and rocks. One of the wheels broke while hauling a load of rocks. I ordered these and was very pleased. They were a tad larger than the original wheels, but installed easily and were better quality than the original ones.

I thought was going to have to dispose of my cart due to the original wheels being broke down considering the cost of a new cart was thrilled to find replacement wheels and again thrilled at the good quality of the wheels . Was a little reluctant about the ease of use how the hard wheels would push and pull versus air tires . They perform very well and long term use is anticipated .

Purchased a few sets of these and they make for great custom carts and bike trailers.

I ordered these after returning a pair of Marathon wheels that needed to have the spare bearings installed to fit my Rubbermaid cart. I could not remove the pre-installed bearings on the Marathon wheels no matter how I tried. These appear to be much sturdier; the plastic on the hubs has no thin spots. The tire itself is a bit thinner than the Marathon at 1.95 inches, but that doesn't concern me. 4 stars as I just put them on the cart and have no clue how long they'll last. I use the cart daily for livestock chores.

Purchased to replace old wheels/tires on Rubbermaid Big Wheel Cart. I didn't like the reviews on other replacements and decided to try these.My first concern was that the hub width on these was listed as 2.75" which would have required me to drill new cotter-pin holes at the extreme ends of the axle. Luckily this measurement was incorrect. The plastic wheel has a metal sleeve inside which makes the hub width only 2.340" (a good thing) BUT the bearings are "flanged" which makes the overall hub width (with bearings installed) 2.625". This allowed me to just barely use the original cotter pin holes by using only one metal washer on each side of the hub and discarding the additional nylon washers that originally came with the cart. The nylon washers aren't needed anyway since these wheels have roller bearings unlike the original wheels. Also, the bearings are "sealed" instead of "open" so outside exposure shouldn't ruin them too quickly (still I wouldn't advise leaving the cart outside in the rain continuously). These aren't precision bearings but there wasn't too much slop in them and they should be fine for a garden cart.On a downside, for some people the installation will be difficult. The flanged bearings are a "press fit" into the hub/sleeve. Most people aren't set up with a press and there's no way to set this up in a vise due to the wheel's size. So installation will require an appropriate hammer and possibly a brass punch (or better yet an appropriately sized driving sleeve). The fit is TIGHT and requires significant forceful blows to seat the bearings. I used a 2# brass hammer with a large impact socket to drive them in which worked pretty well. You shouldn't hammer directly on the inner part of the bearing as you'll damage it internally; you must instead hammer around the outer race of the bearing or use a driving sleeve such as the socket. Also, when one side's bearing is installed you must flip the wheel over and support the bottom side appropriately so that 1st bearing isn't damaged when installing the 2nd bearing. This is an easy enough thing to do for a mechanic, but not for the mechanically challenged.Regarding the wheels/tires... The wheels appear to be a fairly hard plastic. I don't imagine they will "flex" much if any. I'd be concerned about them being brittle if heavily loaded and subjected to a "shock load". For normal usage they're probably fine. The tires are also very hard; much harder than expected. But that's okay with me as it precludes them from coming off the rims when carrying a load. The downside is that they don't "give" much when crossing bumps or ruts. My cart is typically used on concrete so I'm okay with the stiff tires. One more thing, the tires are pretty much a full 20" tall.I will try to update this review as needed, but I'm going to start with a 5-star rating based on my expectations for now but consider the caveats above.

Perfect fit, direct replacement! Sturdy, well made, and no more air pumps! Highly recommend.

I made a wheel cart to transport my Sea Eagle 437ps inflatable boat and these wheels worked very well.The fully loaded 14' boat with a 60lb outboard engine, 2 seats, fishing gear cooler, etc weighs an estimated 350lbs. The 2 wheel axle allows me to easily transport the boat and launch it, by myself.The wheels are perfect for this application.I would choose these wheels again.

Quality. Gave my dock cart new life!No flat is such a bonus
