ontariof7 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Markham Mower is a huge supporter of Copperhead carbides; the same manufacturer as the wheel you are looking for. So I assume they can supply you with the wheels you require. http://www.markhammower.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualpieces aren't sold in the states I have the Rouski wheels and have had good success with them. What were the issues that you had with the Ski-Wheelz?

Akronsnow Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 The spring kept coming apart inside the housing and the wheels would stay down. I ordered two sets and never mad a complete ride without them breaking. I had to wire the wheel up making them useless, I finally returned them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We have sold about 50 sets and just now sold our first replacement parts do you still have your old ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akronsnow Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I bought them directly from the company, they seent me some replacement parts the first time and it still didn't fix the problem, so I sent them back for a full refund. For some reason the spring kept releasing from the pin and wouldn't keep tension. It happened at least four times in two trips , resulting in having to wire them up so they wouldn't keep coming down while riding. One time one came down as I was in a turn and I almost lost control, that was the last straw!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Wow! That is shocking! I have had them for about 4 years and over 14000 Km. Had a spring break this past weekend for the first time. Turned the handle 180 degrees to hold the wheel up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINNDIAN Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Qualipieces products are all very top quality. We've been dealing with them for about 12 years. We've never had a problem with a Roller ski either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The hydraulic units look cool. What would the cost be??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I find it cheaper to just replace the carbides. My two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akronsnow Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 It was nice to have when they did work. Nice to be able to steer in a gas station or parking lot, believe me you don't want to be trying to manhandle a Yamaha 4 stroke around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnj Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Ive got them on both our apex's. They work great. Sometimes if you go too quick, hit a little bump, one will pop up, but work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
