Guys!! As with May kayak supplies... these might be sold out! Get them while you can because of the plastic resin shortage!

[@JEP-rc3bj]

It is a good point but might want to consider installing a lanyard to the landing gears in case you drop one of them in the water.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Agreed I could see that happening on a sleepy morning. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@fishntools]

On my 12' Slayer I trashed the center bar. I placed a 3/4" plywood template to the underside and "sandwiched" the plastic with two trac mounted bolts and two 3/8" bolts with body washers. Been almost two years now with NO issues or signs of stress!

[@irishcorb7]

Thanks for the video just ordered mine. It’s amazing how much pressure builds under the inflated tires even in very shallow water. I love my native, but launching and coming back in has been daunting lol

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Yeah it makes you realize how much buoyancy is down there even with little tires

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I installed mine yesterday, and they are great!!! They're wider and taller making it even easier to move the kayak. I haven't taken them on the water yet. I'm going in about an hour. Thanks for your help. Woooooo!!!

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Oh and I love the rubber on the wheels too. These things are great!!!!

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Very glad to hear this! Hope it helps ya get out on the water easier

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

@@RhinoJoeOutdoors I have a Slayer Max 10 now, but I had a Titan 12. I took it out once with the other tires, and that's tricky getting them back in while on the water. I figured it out, but yeah this will be WAY better. I just have to not drop them, and I'm good.

[@TrulyForgiven]

Those pins worked out great! I appreciate your help in this. I believe the addition of the ctug wheels are a must.....they are much nicer than I expected. Glad I purchased them. Great videos! Keep it up!

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Glad I could help so hopefully you didn’t have to drag your whole kayak wheel assembly into Lowe’s lol

[@davidbracher2337]

Great solution to my problem and thanks for the work to figure this out. Amazon links worked great!

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Thank you for supporting my channel David. If you ever have any questions or anything please let me know.

[@kobe34081]

This video was exactly what I was looking for brother, very informative and you showed and explained everything I wanted to know about the wheels and how to get in and out of the water with my peddle kayak. You gained a new subscriber 👍✌️

[@paparayfishing2000]

I just took your word for it and ordered immediately. I used the affiliate link. I have been through the buoyant tire drama. Sounds like a great upgrade. Thank you for the tip

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it. It makes moving the kayak much easier. I was pulling mine up a steep concrete ramp this week and I have done it with the old wheels and the difference is night and day. Hope you enjoy and thanks for supporting the channel!

[@citonelson]

Thank you! Having the same issue today and looking for solution. Not sure if putting the wheels in before I get to shore will work but will give that a try. Has anyone tried the CTug for the front along with the sidekick. I have to roll a distance at a particular pond to a parking spot and it's a strugle loaded up.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

it. really is difficult. if you use two carts it will be really difficult to steer.

[@dentonjordan6992]

Genius... my carts wheels make it so hard for me to get my big heavy kayak out of the water... game changer

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Thanks! No longer having to fight the buoyant tires makes it so much easier! Thanks for coming by!

[@PortugueseDiesel]

LOVE those wheels. Didn’t think it would be such a big difference.

[@67mackjack]

I had received the NW Sidekick with the wide sand tires. T ordered the Ctug but those are much narrower * & too small on the hub.

[@hobonickel840]

Yep thats rhe solution to my problem ...no more buoyancy pressure from inflated wheels!!

[@adamgregory9198]

I’m definitely looking at doing this because I bought the C Tug first and have had nothing but problems with it. The wheels are great though so I may swap the C Tug’s wheels for the Native landing gear’s wheels. Thanks for the video.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I would do it for sure! It made my landing gear so much more functional

[@jeffalexander9283]

Except for the wheel upgrade, have you done anything to get the brackets to slide in and out easily?

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Yeah I applied a little wax to the part that slides in and it really helped a lot

[@Freshmanger2009]

You ever worry about the pin coming undone and the wheel coming off? I've seen 1 person zip tie the pin for extra security, what do you think of the zip tie for the pin so it doesn't come loose?

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I’ve never had an issue and I’ve taken mine on some long pulls!

[@Freshmanger2009]

@@RhinoJoeOutdoors thanks for the reply

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

@@Freshmanger2009 hey no problem! Those pins were the same ones that I had on some sway bar disconnects I had on my Jeep and they never came loose!

[@freddyfoxx002]

Thanks so much for the video was extremely helpful.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Much appreciated! Hope you have a great day!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Nice , the Buoyancy of the side kick wheels does make it a little tough when getting out of the water. 3 more weeks til I can hopefully get back in my yak 🤞 Good stuff Ryan.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

That's exciting! Hope to see some New videos on your channel!

[@bobbybass1944]

After having ctugs wheels installed for a while , how are they holding up ?

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I actually sold the kayak and got a bass boat so I am not sure.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks for this info. I just used your link to order mine.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Hope you like it! How did it workout for you?

[@OldLadyAngler]

@@RhinoJoeOutdoors works great and SO much better than stock wheels.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Isn’t the rolling resistance so much better? Also helps with launching because the wheels aren’t buoyant! So glad to hear!

[@OldLadyAngler]

@@RhinoJoeOutdoors YES

[@Davvidd702]

You think the c tug beach wheels would be even better ? Or these are?

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I liked these but I have heard good reviews from the Beach Wheels. I never used the beach wheels so I can't speak to them.

[@jasonrush6453]

Will the SandTrakz wheels work also with Native Sidekick

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and sharing that those work also!

[@YakSquad]

Lol!!! I pushed that 6 years ago with boonedox.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

lol

[@JaredKirkwood]

I added paddle leashes to mine as well in case they slip out of my hand.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

might work out something like that just to be safe lol

[@caneanguidry3581]

The Sandtrax wheels are bigger in diameter I cannot find the original ctug,caught, there be a clearance issue with them up with the sandtrax I cannot find posted dimensions on ctug,caught, have a slayer propel max 12.5 with native sidekick

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Hmm I’ll try to research it also!

[@Plainview200]

Showing initiave!

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Do you think the SandTrakz wheels will work in a gravel parking lot? Great job on the video too. 👍

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Thanks! I greatly appreciate it. I would say they should work. Will probably have more rolling resistance than the ones I used. I had used them on gravel before also. If you use them can you report back and let me know how they do!

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

@@RhinoJoeOutdoors I'll probably go with the regular ones since they worked for you. I was thinking the SandTrakz might work better, but I have never tried either.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

@@CarolinaBassHunter yeah if you are worried about how the wheels worked in gravel… they were good. No issues.

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

@@RhinoJoeOutdoors yep that was pretty much it. Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

[@jefferybarron929]

Now that they don't float, Maybe tether them to the Yak, incase you drop 'em... Just a thought lol

[@Pogokoala]

would love to see this wheel on a beach wagon.

[@Crussman499]

I do wish that Railblaza would redo their attachment points to more like the Wilderness Systems heavy duty cart. But make the Attachments interchangeable.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

That’s a great idea!

[@deansample3690]

Does anyone if this works for boondocks landing gear as well?

[@watchluver]

Why not just put in front first? I never go backwards like that and I've been in way worse situations than this. I use the native sidekicks also without any issues whatsoever as long as you put in front first. I just wheel up to the ramp slide it into the water as far as possible, retract the wheels step in and a little push with the paddle and I'm off.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I just had never done it that way. Never really thought about doing it differently

[@ucffinnster]

Just dont drop them in the water now! Might need to come up with a tether to keep them attached.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Hadn’t really thought of that happening lol! Good point!

[@m.r.b.806]

With the old tires, if you have some accidentally drop it it'll float but with these it'll Think… I think if I do this I'm going to tether my axles

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Probably not a bad idea.

[@JS-ud7ml]

Lol, notice he edited out trying to get these back into the slots one handed. Hopefully they will work out the odd weight distribution or manufacturer a spring system for a pull and turn without the need to fully pull em out

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Yep it’s difficult to put them back in. You get better at it over time but with the inflated tires it was almost impossible .

[@chuckmatses6803]

Also, I never leave the wheels on the boat, no way.

[@BVDsGoneFishing]

It's really sad we have to pay all that money for the sidekicks just to spend another $50 on the right wheels.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I agree
