Review on 16+ Wheel Kit for Burley by Runbi Alvarez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Must Have for Beach Sand

This is an overview of the 16+ wheels mounted on a Burley Nomad cargo trailer. I really like these bigger wheels as I mainly use a trailer to move my camera gear around the beach. . I've read comments about how much the wheel wobbles but I don't notice it at all. I compared how far the wheels moved (original vs 16+). The original has 1/2" slack while the 16+ only has 1/4" extra slack. This may be because the 16+ wheels are almost 2 inches taller (original 15 5/8", 16+ 17 3/8"). In addition, the 16+ wheels are twice as wide as the original. The sand equipment is significantly lighter. Also, the extra height keeps the landing gear from dragging through the sand when I pull it through the sand by hand. These wheels and the cargo trailer are going to have a tough life with constant exposure to sand, salt, moisture. Humidity and lugging heavy photo gear. The only thing I questioned is that whatever you put in the hold is held up by the cloth/tarpaulin material. Only an aluminum pole goes through. First thing, I'm guessing would go would be the constant weight floor. If this happens I will contact Nomad to see if they will sell me the tarp instead of replacing the whole trailer. I am very disappointed that there is no option to order a cargo trailer with these wheels. I now have a set of wheels I think I'll never go with, I'll use them.
