Thanks,Mark

Mark, I just bought a replacement for my Ultrastar from a place called Dunn and Company; part number 2.00005.565. They were great to deal with.

I have one off my Firestar II that I will never use again. Any reasonable offer gets it.

What about a roller blade wheel - I use that on my Hawk - my Hawk is not a tail wheel version, but roller blade wheels are tough and most have good bearings.  How fast would that sucker be spinning at 50 MPH.

If'n you can't get the genuine thang from Kolb Aircraft, try the wheels for the little scooters.  5" dia, I think.  Friend put one on a MK II.  It was even color coordinated with his accent color (blue).  Fairly inexpensive and durable.  Don't think any mods were necessary.

 I use one of those on my FS II.  It is larger than the pizza cutter   in diameter by maybe 1 1/2" and also in width by maybe 1/2".   Yes; they come in colors.

  

 There are 2 sizes; seems like there is a 100 mm and a 120 mm; I used the  larger.

  

 They have ball bearings.  The axle bore is either 6 mm or 8 mm- can't  remember which..

  

 Had to modify the original tailwheel bracket some; a little cutting and  welding was involved.

  

 I got lucky and bought 6 of them at Walmart for $6, on sale.

I'm not sure if you are still looking for a "pizza wheel". I have one on my Kolb Firestar II. It has some parts left that are not bent or broken. Send me an email if you need parts. wrk2win4u(at)msn.com (wrk2win4u(at)msn.com)

If not, try a snowmobile shop... it's a track roller.

I e-mailed Kolb a couple of weeks ago but got no response. 



There's no snowmobile shops nearby, so I went online and looked at about 50 different track wheels. I ordered one that looked to be the right part. When it arrived, it was the right dimensions, but it has no rubber on it. It's just a hard plastic wheel.



I like the looks of the one from Dunn and Co, but it would require some cutting and welding because it's 1/2" larger diameter than my bracket will accept. It also doesn't appear to have a sealed bearing, which could limit its longevity in the gritty environment where a tail wheel lives and works.

I have a new wheel that came with the Kolb I now own and anyone can have it 

for the price of shipping. I replaced this wheel with the new version. 

E-mail me at clydemacquarrie(at)eastlink.ca
