TMS CART-CANOE/KAYAK-KY001 New Jon Boat Kayak Canoe Carrier Dolly Trailer Tote Trolley Transport Cart Wheel

This works great, exactly what I needed. I walk 1/2 mile to the lake, the first 1/4 on payment, and the second 1/4 on a semi-rough trail. This is the ticket to transporting your kayak. The price was right on this version, I don't know what could be different on the ones costing 2 or 3 times as much. But be warned, there are no instructions at all. Simply the pieces in cardboard shipping box, no "product" box. The tires came very under inflated, so you will need to take them and have them inflated before using. As everyone else notes, the tires do smell, but the smell on mine went away quickly. (The box retained the smell worse than the tires did, so discard it quickly.)I wasn't even sure what should be the front or back. I tried to look at pictures on-line of people using similar ones, and it looks like people use them both ways. After reading suggestions, I ended up putting the legs in front, so they will fold backwards. As far as connecting the kayak using the strap, As someone else pointed out, the easiest way to strap the kayak on is to start by setting the kayak on the cart, lay the strap across the top of the kayak with the end hanging down on both sides, run each end through the tube/side of the cart underneath, and then bring both sides of the strap back on top and fasten the clip on top of the kayak. Once fastened tightly, I have had no problems with my kayak falling off, even on fairly rough terrain. However, if I pick up the back end of the kayak, the wheels/cart will collapse down, so be careful there.Also to make pulling it easier, put the kayak on the cart about where the seat is, or just a little ways back of the center of gravity. It will work fine if you put it towards the back of the kayak, but you will end up supporting more of the weight when you pull it. Ideally, you want the cart to support most of all the weight, with you supplying the forward motion.I also tried one of the kayak/SUP over-the-shoulder straps, and that didn't work well at all. The cart works really well. Highly recommended if you have to carry your kayak any distance at all.

No tengo queja ninguna.

Update 8/26/2014 - As I said in the title... "Worth ignoring flaws", therefore I've upgraded my rating from 4 to 5-star. The process for the seller to replace the defective wheel was easy and took less than a week. I've now used this cart for a 14ft fiberglass canoe with all my day-trip gear (including battery & electric motor) and it works great. Remarkable design & value!+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This cart is a remarkable value, superb design and very well made! I would have given it 5-stars if it were not for the annoyance of having to deal with requesting the replacement of a defective wheel. Otherwise, for the $25 price tag (+ shipping) it would not be possible to even begin buying the parts to improvise one's own cart. In other words, aside from defective wheel problems I consider many of the reported annoyances to be no-big-deal.For defective wheels others have reported `won't-hold-air-pressure'. In my case one of the wheels had small plastic `growths' on the inside of the bore, thus it would not fit over the axel. That's a DEFECTIVE product!Other wheel annoyances... Wheel odor in my Aug '14 delivery was no problem, no different than when getting new tires on my car. Both my wheels arrived deflated and inflating them requires finding a spigot that will fit in tight spaces (my bike pump didn't work). Note that the wheel valves need to be toward the inside of the cart, otherwise they will bump into the wheel-holding pin. Inflate to 30 psi max. Spray the axel with dry lubricant for extra measure (never oil or grease that would soon gunk-up).Holding your kayak or canoe securely... Just forget the flimsy hold-down strap that came with the cart. Instead I use the straps that hold down my canoe on my car's roof rack (metal clamps). Short as this cart is, I use one strap for each of the forward/aft under-canoe-supports. Once I line-up the wheels with the canoe and cinch-up the straps the cart-&-canoe are inseparable.The tripod stand is a great feature for holding the cart steady while you load you canoe/kayak, easily retractable once you have strapped down your craft.Cheers!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cart!! Okay, now that I got that out of the way:) HA!I'm writing this review on my husband's account cause he has prime and I like to get things fast, and as usual prime got this cart to me in 2 days!Opened the box and what I see is the frame, tires, strap and instructions...okay looks easy enough.I read instructions cause that's what I do, even though this cart is so easy to put together really no instructions are necessary.I got this cart to pull my SUP. We live about 2 blocks from the bay and I had been using my BIG BOARD SCHLEPPER, that I also love and got from Amazon, to transport my board and paddle. Got this cart to help ease back pain, so I can enjoy the SUP more often.The cart says for canoe/kayak, so what I did to make it SUP ready was just push the foam pads to the rounded edges of the frame so that the board is not touching the metal. Easy peasy!What I ended up doing was placing the SUP on the cart in the center, using the strap provided to wrap around the frame and into my handle in the center of my board. If you don't have a handle doesn't really matter as long as you get the strap tight enough, it won't move. I set the board up so that it could rest flat on the cart and where the fin (with fin cover on) rested on the ground. I then placed my paddle in my bungy at the front of the board to make it a little front heavy when I pulled it so that the fin wouldn't drag the ground, and the front of the board wouldn't keep trying to come up.All in all a great cart for SUP hauling. Only used once so far and can't see not using it every single time I go to the bay!!
