Source of castors with rubber tyres?
I've got a couple of office chairs with hard tyre'd castors and need to
change them to the type with rubber tyres so that they're OK on laminate flooring. So far I haven't managed to find a supplier - any suggestions? Dave |

Dave Use hard tyre castors on laminate for years with no problem Mind you I do sweep the floor regularly to remove grit etc Not sure how the rubber castors would be better as tiny bits of dirt get embedded in the rubber Tony |

Thanks for the suggestion but chairs use push-in, rather than threaded, spigots. They seem to be 64mm wheels and 3/8 spigots. (But with 10 to replace I may just take Tony's advice and leave them.)
