Ski wheels

[Harley Rider]

Has anyone seen or used ski wheels or "skiwheelz" to move a sled around on non snow surfaces. I have seen them on the internet and wonder how well they work especially on gravel. There are some that stay attached to the skis and others that are placed under the skis when needed, more for concrete. I have to move on dirt, gravel, rocks and even a little cement. I hate wearing my skis unecessarily and my shop dolly won`t handle my new sled so I have to either buy a bigger dolly or try something else. I do like the idea of using the sleds own power to move it.

go to princess auto and grab some of the air filled castor wheels and mount them onto a chunk of 3/4" plywood with foam on top...my buddy attached velcro starps that wrap around the skis to hold them in place....works pretty sharp for a dirt driveway

That sounds like a good idea. I`ve actually thought of making something up out of metal but wood is easier.

A little expensive but a gent on Doo Talk sells a custom set:

Too bad they only fit Rev models and I have a Skandic. Looks like a good idea though. Much better than the little wheels on other types.
