I would like to inform our Bücker enthusiast fellows that they can easily replace their worn tailwheel with this one sold by Wicks (P/N TWNP-5).
Its diameter is the same as the original, but one must machine spacers to fit the axle. Its sturdy metal rim is equipped with two roller bearings and a grease fitting, and you can paint it black if you want to make it look like the original.
It weighs 620 g (1,36 lb) and its price is light too: $30.60
