6 Inch Dual Flange Guide Wheel

Designed as a leading guide wheel for railbiking the 6 inch dual flange wheel accepts a pair of sealed bearings for an inner bearing diameter of 5/8”. This wheel features a 2.5” riding surface with a diameter of 6” at the flange. The dual flange wheel features two different flange angles which allows a better fit on the “dirty” side of the rail.

This wheel is a guide wheel and is designed to rotate freely on its bearings much the same way an inline skate wheel would. This provides no provision for transmitting torque for acceleration or braking forces.

* 5/8" inner bearing diameter and is NOT compatible with the 3/4" RailRider axle!
