<< Hi List,
 I have had my second school, complain of the replacement double
 rubber wheel casters, splitting.
 The supplier tells me he has had no complaints from anyone else.
 The schools insist that there was no rough moving involved. (Naturally)
 They had been installed less than a year before.
 
 Has anyone else had this problem? >>

Hi John,

Installed a bunch of these myself with another installation coming up next 
week and have never had a problem.  I did have a school who rolled there 
piano across the paved parking lot for an outdoor concert (Kawai UST7) and 
this abuse split the stock caster.  I replaced the caster and told them if 
they ever do it again to use a dolly under the piano and not the piano wheels.
