cooperman Unregistered	Posted Sunday, March 18, 2018 @ 06:22 PM Evening all, My tailwheel rubber is slowly giving up and with some uneven wear is starting to impact the hub rim on one side. I can't say whether this is an original 'standard' RF4 tailwheel but either way I am looking for any advice on a suitable replacement. Just started scouring RS components and also chatting to a local company to see if they can make me something. Any assistance appreciated. Paul.

Fredrik S Unregistered	Posted Sunday, May 6, 2018 @ 04:45 PM Hi Paul. We replaced XSK:s tailwheel two weeks ago, we bought a "stock" wheel for a hospitalbed, had almost the same diameter and weight as the old one. Although our "original" tailwheel looked a bit different than yours but the mounting and dimension should be the same so that is my tip. --------------------
