Its got some nice plastic wheelks with inflateable tyres that have a lovely bearing on the outside of them. bearings are good, always better than wheels without, as they wont turn so well and if there do then they wear out in no time, ok for a pushchair thata does not go many miles and a kiddy grows out of, no good for a buggy full of beers doing a shiopping trip a few times a week or so.....
Heres wheel number one...
Nice from that side....
But now look at it from the other side....
The 'black cog' is part of the brake system, but as you can see no bearing on this side.. the baring from the other side is in the centre of the wheel but still, one bearing means wobble...
Theres a fix...
The 'cog' has a bush (removed) that sits in a cutout the exact same size as the bearing, looks like the plan was to use a bearing, but then cost cutting made them throw in a plastic bush, so I can just buy a bearing the same size, but....the front wheel uses the same bearing and i dont need the front wheel, and it does have one either side.
So, bearing removed from one side of front wheel to improve the rear wheel, and before its thrown away I can remove the tyre and tube as spares for he trailer...
Alls good.
Next step, chassis build...
