something that might prove interesting to some is I made a double wide jockey wheel from a pair of split rim trolley tyres ,I did this for a beach fishing cart originally as follows ,
if you buy a couple of split rim trolley wheels and cut some tube spacers to put between the two halves ,(you will need tubes as well as there is no inner dia seal ) then buy the old fashioned type tyres like originally used on a builders barrow but smaller , with your spaced rim because those tyres have no defined side walls when inflated on the wide rim they will inflate wide and rounded , perfect for a beach jockey wheel ,same diameter bolt as a jockey and put one wheel either side
probhably at this stage many think I have gone mad but its true its the cheapest solution you will ever see ,I must be honest and my fishing trolley was useless on shingle where I mainly fish but I gave them to a friend who mounted them on an old jockey wheel mechanism for his fishing boat and they enable him to winch the boat up the beach from the promenade without being near the boat ,
I will try and get a picture and upload ,
