Don't worry. The original is probably Alko but you can get a non original wheel and vertical pole [48mm diameter] for less than £30 on the likes of e-bay.
You coul ddecide on a pneumatic or wider solid rubber tyre, or one with an integral noseweight gauge in it such as the Alko premium. I have one of these and whilst expensive it is very reassuring to know your noseweight.

Some good buys on Gumtree https://www.gumtree.com/search?featured_...earch_location=

Thank you. Very helpful advice as usual. I don't need the pole - just a spare wheel - and will follow up tomorrow.

I had to replace mine a few years ago. I opted out of a pneumatic as that could fail at an inappropriate time.

Don't go for a narrow wheel as that will dig in to soft ground.

Best option in my opinion is a wide solid wheel.

Firstly, this thread may be helpful to folk in the process of replacing their jockey wheels.
How to: Fit a New Jockey Wheel and Clamp.

However, since Brian (Aaron Calder) posted this thread I think he has changed his jockey wheel to an Alko "Soft" wheel. There is a thread on here somewhere.

We've had an Alko "Soft" wheel on our van ever since we've owned it (10 years) and it has performed well. It's be interesting to hear how Brain has got on with it.

I think this thread may be of more use, Roger. You referred to it above.

Many thanks all! I asked AL who don't sell them but directed me to a site that did. One on order now!

I had to replace my 2015 Families solid wheel after I took a chunk out hitting the kirb. This was the wheel I bought, they are not cheap. I do prefer this broad rubber wheel after trying the thin plastic ones that dog into gravel and pneumatics that always went flat.
