[Rhodes22-list] Stuck/Frozen Trailer Wheel

[Peter Nyberg]

I also have the dual-axle Triad, and have also had problems with wheels becoming frozen.  In both instances, I had to remove the offending wheel in order to take the trailer to be serviced. After the second time, I asked if there was something they could do to make the problem less likely to reoccur.  They said there was, and installed disc brakes on all 4 wheels.  The cost was north of $1500.

BTW, I launch and retrieve in salt water multiple times per year.
