Jumbo Cat Wheels

   Does anyone know where I can buy the big wheels for cat launching trolleys?
I currently have skinny tyres on mine and want to get a set of wheels for use when launching of gravel or sand beaches.  Buyinga new trolley seems like an expensive option that I'd like to avoid.
Thanks

	First, I don't know the answer to your question. The Hobie Centre might, tho. Second, I'm not sure whether the fat trax wheels will fit on a skinny wheel axle. Which leads me a to suggestion. Why not put an extra skinny wheel on each side. Not the definitive answer but fairly cheap and easy to implement.

	Cat-Bitz should do the trick for you. http://www.bitz-brands.co.uk/acatalog/Cat-Bitz.html

	Hmm seems expensive. I had heard the price of these was creeping up because of the Euro. However, I have seen a few with small wheels doubled up. This could be a cheaper method. Cheers.

	From what I've seen, CatTrax wheels (and other chubby tyre types) are the business, but I've never seen a "cheap" set. They are a well worthwhile investment, though. Try eBay (save a search so that you get an email if any come up for sale) - I have seen the occasional set on there. Unfortunately, I've never seen them go for a bargain price.
