Hi Ryan,Here's what I did. 3 years of use and I'm really happy with it. You can useany sized wheel you like, everyone tells me this one is too small; that itwon't track well and will wear out. Works great for me. bought a bag often from McMaster and change it out every season. Regardless of the wheelsized, I think the design is a bit more robust than some I"ve seen.DO add a cross bar or even a couple diagonals in the "V" since the turningwheel now introduces some twisting loads it wasn't designed for.Douwe
