Saguenay Bill Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Couple of years ago I bought a set of manual wheels for my ride. I found very useful when having to get gas. Last year I experienced lower back pain after lifting skis to lower the manual wheels gels so I decided to get a set of automatic ones. The manual ones I had were Retrax. They were well made, the service was great. I had a question one evening, 7 PM, called the 800 number, left message and 1/2 hour later got a return call. Mike, owner of Retrax, walked me thru my problem and got it solved. When I went to purchase the automatic ones I checked a couple of other mfgs and their prices were almost double Retrax and I knew the quality and customer service of Retrax. So it was a nobrainer.

rmk Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Nice I've never has a set of wheels. Would have help a few times paddles bend over easy then zero traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg du Vermont Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Nice job Bill. Not old guys, maybe just smarter guys. It seems like more of us are moving to wheels. I'm anxious to try mine. I was not ready for a sheep skin seat cover or a teddy bear on my bumper, but I was ready for the advantages of wheels. I'll be writing a review later in the season.
