Repl Wheel 6X2.125X1/2 Balloon
This tailwheel works great on my Progressive Aerodyne Searey Classic. Have worn out one tail wheel but at the current price including the wheel and bearings, its a great buy for an airplane part.

Repl Wheel 6X2.125X1/2 Balloon
As good as expected
I was reluctant to purchase this wheel but the quality seems much better than reviews I have read. Bearings fit well, bolt hole is concentric with the wheel etc. It is well made and performing very well so far.
Good value for this tail wheel. I have used them on my Christen Eagle for years. It is less expensive than most alternatives and lighter. I found I must be diligent about keeping it greased, as this little wheel spins fast on my aircraft. As the tire wears, it tends to flatten asymmetrically and is not as durable as others. But since it is less expensive, very easy to replace and light, it is my preferred tail wheel. I also replace the AN364-820 elastic nut when changing the tail wheel.
Repl Wheel 6X2.125X1/2 Balloon
I use the R&K 4x1.5 x 5/8 on my Midget Mustang which lands kinda fast.and so far had 3 1/2 years good service (about 350 hours) from the my initial cheapie tool-cart wheel...BUT....I first packed the inside of the wheel and bearings (yes, they are open to accept grease on the inside portion) with high pressure rating 50% moly grease. If you do that right away they just might last forever, or until the rubber goes. However if you want to make it a really nicely rolling unit, press out the old clunker bearings and press in a pair of Enduro 202FFLB truly-sealed bearings. Theyre about $17 depending on where you shop. I did that to my just-in-case-spare wheel, but the first is still going strong.
Use these on a PANZL S330 Aerobatic Monoplane. Tailwheel lasts around 75 landings before showing appreciable wear. Around 150 landings its either worn off half the rubber or it has splits in the sidewalls. For the cost, I carry one as a spare when I travel and keep one on the shelf. The Panzl doesnt carry the tail-weight of the Pitts but does have similar touchdown speeds. For the money, they are just fine.
The 4 x 1-1/2 wheel is actually 1-3/4 wide at the hub with bearing. Had to narrow the wheel (belt sander) to fit my 1-1/2 tailwheel yoke.
