Thread: Replacing wheel on shopping jeep

Good idea! I would track down some suitable rubber and make a tyre for it to cut the sound and protect the timber.

Thanks Artme, good point about the sound, I never considered that, might use some inner tube from an old bike for the rubber.

If I'm thinking straight there are two wheels, and I'd be inclined to replace both to avoid having to juggle the diameter (trying to match the existing/remaining one). As one has collapsed the other is likely to follow suit - soonish. This action would, possibly, correct any lack of 'roundness'.

If she shops like my wife it would need to be industrial strength.

Not sure what you mean by a shopping jeep. Any chance of a pic?

...shopping jeep? is that like a shopping cart?

Try supercheep they got all size wheels

At the last council hard rubbish collection I saw a couple of jeeps not far away from your place. Wait until the next one due in June/July and you'll find a few.

Yes and there are a few variations available there are the two wheel and four wheels variety and they can be either fixed or foldup.

My wife has one in the boot of her car and is the 2 wheel fold up type where even the wheels fold in so that it becomes a looks a normal shopping bag when folded up.

She uses it often when shopping and she is not an little old lady.

Whilst she is a petite size she is younger than me hence not a little old lady.

Thanks guys, there isn't a hard waste around here for at least a couple of months but I did have some skate wheels which I drilled out so that they would fit on the jeep's axle.
