Dolly Wheels: thoughts on these?

[ReneH]

I want to make a dolly but wanted to see if there are other variety of wheels that would be less difficult to setup on a dolly cart that the standard skate wheels. In searching on the web, I came across some types that might just fit the bill. I was looking at wheels that would be able to fit on a pipe with a groove in the middle. Take a look at these:

One more link to a v-groove wheel, look at the blue model:

They cost less than the other wheels listed on this thread. Any comments?

I think the v-grooves would be better for ya. There'd be more surface area gripping the track.. although the casters would allow you to have a curving track.

Ooh, I like those v-groove wheels.

But they're a little big (4") and a little pricey ($33).

Ill do Neil Rowe a favor and tell you to buy his dollies.

And then Ill put the not-so-subliminal propaganda aside, and tell you that I use inline-skate wheels, and I get no real problems, though skateboard wheels are better. It depends on how good you want it.
