Boogie Wheels

[rbell14]

I have a viper that I'm adding new bearings to the boogie wheels. What's the average mileage you guys are getting on these before they need replacement. (the wheels them self)?

Mine looks good but are worn, however seems like I could get another 3,000 miles out of them. My sled presently have 5,000 miles on the original wheels.

I have over 9,000 miles on my wheels. Maybe I should measure them.

That makes me feel better. The wheels themself appear to have more life to them but I know they are worn a bit vs. new? Just curious what people are seeing for wheel life, 9,000 miles doesn't surprise me as I think I could get there too.

Forever as long as studs don’t chew wheels up and bearings get yearly grease

I repack bearings every year to make sure they are in good condition.

Thanks guys, bearings were not the concern. Just wondered about the wheel itself. I think I have a lot of miles left on them based on the feedback.

i only replace the wheel when the rubbers start coming off of them or the bearing race goes in loose or shows that it was spinning inside the wheel.

I changed mine at 9000 the trihub lasted that long also. Putting 4th wheel kit on the new Viper
