Contact wheels and "search" option?

[miden]

Hi Guys,

anyone know what happened to the "search" option?

I have no choice but to ask where one can get contact wheels, I wanted to search it but.....
Bertie Rietveld is no longer around and I need a wheel 12" x 1".
Can anybody help please?

thanks

Mike

Hi, Mike,

Search option has been turned off temporarily for non-paying members due to overloaded servers.

Herbst is selling wheels in SA nowadays: http://www.herbst.co.za/supplies/contact-wheels

Probably one of the largest suppliers in the US is Contact Rubber: http://www.contactrubber.com/contact-wheels.asp

You can always call Stephen Bader, also: http://www.contactrubber.com/contact-wheels.asp

Has anyone purchased a contact wheel from Herbst?
Wondering about the quality and how much shipping/duty costs.

Hey there Fitzo,

thanks for the reply, looks like I will have to get a paid membership.

Just so happens I am going to S.A. for some personal business around Feb/March next year.
Herbst happens to be close to where I grew up in Pretoria, I will look him up.

Can I bring you something from the old country? A bit of warm weather maybe ......or a lion?

Mike

Mike, I think the plan is to return search capabilites to everyone but there may be some hardware upgrades necessary first. There's a sticky up top the forum, and threads over in Service and Support about it all.

I hope you have a safe and pleasant journey home. Thanks for the offer of the lion, but Nanc insists one pet (dog) is enough!

Of all the things Fitzo has lost...

Thanks for the useful links Mike, I didn't have the one for Contact Rubber stored in my favorites yet. :thumbup: -Matt-

Dang, I didn't even notice my error, Matt! Thanks for the correction.

BTW, Contact Rubber is in Bristol, WI, west of Kenosha. They are the source for getting wheels refurbished, too.

I had no idea that it was that close. There is a gentleman's club in Bristol, from what I hear. Kill two birds with one stone?

Thanks for the additional search info Fitz, and the links and thank you also for the good wishes, it is high summer there now and I could use a bit of that, I was raised on sunshine, this winter is rough on a man who used to think zero Celcius was bitterly cold. Now I think zero is barmy.Everything is relative.

Thanks for the correction Matt and thanks for your input Terry. The Bader wheels look good.

Take care guys.

Mike
