173 forum posts 7 photos	Hi, it had to happen. Due to an house move I have lost the rear trailing wheels for my 5 inch Stirling single. I have looked into the cost of cast iron and it’s ridiculous what people are asking these days. What other materials can I use that don’t cost a small fortune. Thanks.
