V-Groove Wheels

[radroy92]

I've done a lot of experimenting with different wheels and pulleys and I found that using just the bore with a bolt and/or grease didn't work real well for me. The bolt in the hole just never rolled all that easily and the grease was a sawdust magnet. Took me a few tries before I discovered the joys of sealed bearings!

Now, this isn't to say the bolts won't work for someone else tho. I know a few guys that swear by that method. I just attract bad results!

I agree I wouldn't do that either. These are the just the ticket and they are a very low price. Cast Iron V-Groove Wheel. 4" x 1-1/2", 800 lbs Capacity. There is a sturdy roller bearing inside and the axel bolt is drilled through the center for greasing.
