Are these wheels worth anything?


I have a number of these - at least 5 - 8. They are 10 inch tire/wheel. The tires mostly have dry rot or other problems so they would need to be replaced. I changed the tube in one once it was very hard, but I didn't have much experience or the right tools for that.

I could ebay them if anythinks they are of value (idk $5-10 each?) or if anyone is interested let me know.

The bearings can be replaced with 20mm and the choice of tires are unlimited. Great deal if the wheels are still usable.

Adam - The bearings seem to be 32 mm and 12 mm. Ironically, the same size as my buggy though they are almost 20 years old and don't seem very good. But maybe I can just clean them and oil them. So I was looking for replacement bearings so at least I now have some spares.

Jeff - I don't see why the wheels would not still be good - they look ok as far as I can tell. Thanks for the info.

Since they seem to fit the same size axle, looks like I could use them on my buggy though I don't see why I would ever want to since they are much smaller than my buggy tires.
