Review on 🧳 Eric_Leon 2 Set of Luggage Suitcase Replacement Wheels with ABEC 608zz Bearings: Upgrade Your Travel Gear! by Tim Rushing

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great spare wheels for my Samsonite luggage.

During a recent trip, 2 of 4 wheels on my large Samsonite Spinner suitcase broke. When I got home I looked around for a luggage repair shop to fix the wheels. I have not found a local workshop that would be convenient for me to change wheels. After consulting several skate shops for replacement parts, I found that the inline skate wheels I needed weren't the right size. None of them had a wheel small enough for my application (50mm). I wanted to visually compare the size to make sure I was getting the correct replacement. Since I couldn't find any wheels to test, I went online. I found these discs and decided to order them. They came with everything I needed to replace my broken pannier wheels. The bikes arrived on Saturday as stated. I looked at the rims and they looked exactly like the picture in the ad. I ordered 2 sets as I wanted all four wheels to be the same. It's good that I made 2 "good" wheels that turned out to be cracked and soon failed. I installed them with this AM. They worked perfectly. These wheels are far superior to the original wheels. They have metal bushings and bearings as opposed to the stock plastic bushings and no bearings. The wheels feel more massive than the original. They also roll much better. Just a hint. The original wheels have a one-piece axle pressed in like a rivet. I had to grind the rivet with a Dremel tool and knock out the axle. When removing the axle, be careful not to damage the wheel forks and axle groove. Replacing all 4 wheels took about 90 minutes. It went much faster after I uninstalled the first one and sorted everything out.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
