need advice on replacing tube/tire on Funky Leisure "Off-Roader Festival Trolley MkII"

[chasg]

Hi All,

I bought this trolly for Glasto 2011, and it's been really great at every Glasto since then, but it obviously didn't like waiting so long after 2019, and one tire will no longer hold air. It is the trolly on the right in first photo of this 2011 post:

Does anybody else have one of these, and can advise me on how to replace the tube, tire or even the entire wheel? (I've already broken two bike tire levers trying to get the trolly's tire off the wheel, so I'm thinking the entire wheel needs to be replaced). I've written Funky Leisure, but no reply as of yet, and Glasto is getting closer and closer 🙂

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Chas

Bite the bullet and buy new wheels. Lots more like these available:

I have zero problems buying new wheels, thanks so much for the link! (I honestly didn't think that there'd be a market for replacement wheels for trollys). I just need to figure out which will fit 🙂

Hey, I have exactly the same problem with the exact same trolley. What did you get in the end? Would you share? I'm a bit lost with what to buy... Many thanks

You don't use tyre levers to get the tyre off this type of wheel, just undo the four bolts on the wheel hub and the wheel splits in half, actually much easier than tyre levers to be honest.

I'm a convert to none inner tube options. Just purchased a new solid wheel for the barrow. Good peace of mind.

Walsall wheelbarrows seem to do a good range of options

I'm now fairly confident that my first thought when I read the above, is not the one intended by yourself. So I shall stop here.
