I have just bought a 4 wheeled one and to be honest it is the best trolley ive ever had concept wise. Its like pushing a pram however I have had a couple of issues with the bearings in the wheels failing. Ted carter where I bought it from have been absolutely brilliant replacing a wheel and now preston are on the case. After sales first class, trolley brilliant chinese bearings not so good. 🙂

I think around 40 fished Andy won from peg 15 on Jennies with 41lb Nigel Tourettes Taylor was second from peg 35 on Twin Oaks with 35lb. It was Silvers only, there is a match on Wednesday and the league on Sunday both Silvers only. Looking forward to it!

been postponeing getting a 4 pi 4 wheeler for ages, having just aquired a pi mk 1 spacetstation which doesn’t fit my Fox barrow., and sick of my 3 wheeler powerwalkers smaller bits going,
However, you said your PI 4 whell shuttle wheel bearings went?
this is a new model and thought they’d sorted the wheel issues?
How are the replacement ones?
this putting me off- as sending wheels back from iow for something new gives concern?
How are they on slight slopes and corners?
Finally how well do they break down -room wise into motor- my mates 2 wheel seems fine but i only have a small corsa van so space a bit tight?
Your experiances good and bad- be really helpful – as all i’ve heard was how good they were.
Don’t want to buy and have to send wheels back after a few weeks as some of my venues are quite rough and uneven.

I also have a D36 Rive and have tried the Preston Shuttle, but a broken wheel caused me to look elsewhere. The best I have ever used is the GT wheel kit, made to suit Rive boxes.It is only

one wheel but consists of 2 arms and 1 wheel- less space in the car and easy to assemble. I have walked around Boddington, Drayton etc , loaded with huge amounts of kit, without breaking sweat, whilst others pushing the shuttle are red-faced and out of breath.You will not be dissappointed.
regards,
Brian
