Replacement Wheel and Axle Set for your Sportube Series 1, 2 or 3.


Features
  • Series 1 Axle - 6"
  • Series 2 Axle - 9.25"
  • Series 3 Axle - 11"
Installation Instructions Below:



You will need 2 wrenches 7/16" or 10mm or two adjustable ones.



1. While grasping both locknuts with wrenches, turn counterclockwise to loosen each nut. If one side is removed before the other, it may become necessary to use pliers or other method to prevent the axle from rotating while the remaining locknut is loosened.



2. Once both locknuts are removed, the wheels should slide off of each side.

Incorrect position (the smaller side of axle is shown on the left in this photo)
Correct position for removal/installation with small side entering/exiting the larger hole

3. As shown above, each side of the axle is machined to different diameters resulting in an asymmetrical axle to secure the axle assembly inside the plastic. The axle is only removeable/insertable through the larger of the two holes drilled in the plastic of the case. If not easily removed, please ensure you are attempting to remove it in the correct direction before using additional tools to hammer, push or pull from the plastic, as doing so could result in irreparable damage.



4. Insert the new axle into the larger of the two holes in the lower half of the case. The smaller end of the axle should protrude slightly.

Once axle is installed, if you are replacing your wheels, install them now.

Once wheels have been replaced, it is recommended to hand tighten locknuts first to avoid cross threading.

Finally, tighten each side with wrenches and replacement is complete!
Please note: there is no specific recommended torque value other than sufficiently tight.

5 of 5 EZ to install. May 18, 2025
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from MD USA  
Both Series 2 + 3 Axles.  So rare today, Sportube stands behind their product AFTER the sale.  Rolling smoothly for many years to come.  Note1: I used a little Loctite on nuts just to be sure.  Note2: my old nut was English.  New one was metric.  Didn't change performance.  I just needed both English + Metric socket.  Could have done with a crescent wrench in a pinch.  Thank You.

4 of 5 Wheels and axel set to a double ski tube March 31, 2025
Reviewer: DMaiello from SHINGLE SPGS, CA United States  
It was nice that the wheels did fit the existing 20 year-old ski tube. However, I only needed the wheels and were unable to buy just the wheels. I had to buy the entire axle as well. Which was adding a little cost. Two plastic wheels did fit and go on easily but almost $30 for two wheels seemed high
