The problem I have with these trucks are that after a month the wheels will no longer fold out automaticly. Has anyone had long term use experience?

I've had mine for several months and it is still working fine. Though I am careful to not overloaded and go beyond what it's rated for and also I do keep the wheels clean so they don't get gummed up.

I've had it for a while but don't use it all the time. I don't have any issues with it. I use it for heavy loads at times

I've had mine for more than 6 months and I use it at least twice a week. I have had absolutely no problems with mine. I don't necessarily like the super long bungee that comes with it so I changed it out with my own and it's all good. Mechanically it works great. Thinking about buying another one in case they quit making this model.

I have occasional issues with the wheels not fully popping out right (pops out and stops still at an angle), but it hasn't bothered me much.

The wheels are not inflatable. They come in tough rubber and is way more durable than if they were inflated. As far as stability it's fine. I used to have the old inflatable one and they got stuck on every sharp turn and didn't hold as much weight. THIS is the best HAND truck on the market. -Kelly Dlux -www.dluxent.com

You have to make sure that the wheels "click" when you push them onto the "stick" - the axle. I have used mine often now and have had no problem with the wheels at all.

We've had no problems with the wheels yet. We use it almost daily around the house. The handle is a little wobbly, but I think that's more due to how I assembled it. Haven't taken the time to try to correct that. So far really happy with it.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

They are a generic brand of trucks. They should hold up to the abuse from someone just beginning, but not so much if lots of airs and grinding are in the picture.

No, I haven't had any problems with the wheels at all. Can't remember for sure, but I think you will hear a click when you put the wheels on and that means they are inserted and seated properly. Check to make sure they are completely inserted properly or if there is a defect.

We've had ours for about 4 months now, and it's perfect. The truck isn't garaged, so it sits out in the weather and so far is holding up well. Looks good, is easy to roll up when something is a bit too tall and it seems to be weather/rain proof, protecting whatever is in the bed. Hopefully, yours was just an anomaly.

Have not had any problems with the wheels but we do not use cart on a regular basis although we have used it with very heavy items and it was fine.

Definitely. I would consider purchasing new wheels eventually though. The board is great for cruising though I have no problem with its everyday use.

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

Peter, I'm a truck owner not a parts dealer. My experience is if it's a tough job to replace go with a brand name, not a discount. question how long they will last and if I want to do this job over in a few months ??

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

I have had nothing but trouble with this truck. Will not go forward. Had one replacement and it is the same. Not easy to get them to help you. I would not buy this truck!!!!

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the details of how you use them. I have a yes and a no. The problem is I am alone and it's extremely difficult to lift and place each wheel. And frustrating to have them slip off when moved. But again, I'm grateful for your time.

The wheels are pretty good. I haven't had any issues with them. To me, they seem quite sturdy.

I had the same issue and at first it was not an issue but after a few months the mechanism that locked the tower in the upright position failed. The piece of metal that you squeeze to lower the rack enabling you to get into the back of your SUV / Truck wiggles out of position and the entire rack drops to the lowered position. Be careful. If my truck wasn't a high profile vehicle the tire from one of the bikes would have been drug along the highway. I "Fixed" this issue temporarily by cutting a piece of wood to fit to wedge into the space where the metal spring is and then zip tying it there so it couldn't wiggle itself open but in the end I ended up spending the money and buying a higher quality rack.
