Need a new pushcart - Looking for help

[bigapplehacker]

I’ve now gone through two Clicgear models.

I loved the 3.5 (three wheels). Eventually the break wore out after several years of use.

Happy with the 3.5, I purchased the 8.0, which did not fold as compactly and was more difficult to handle and less intuitive than the 3.5. And I saw no benefit to the larger size. It recently broke after only a few seasons.

So should I go back to the 3.5 or should I try a different brand? I like the product OK, but they are not as durable as they could be.

I've only ever used my 3.5 and I love the thing. If you loved it and had the lifespan you are looking for then I see no reason not to get another.

Thanks. Stick with the 3.5 - which is cheaper and better IMO.

I just got a 3.5 and love it. Once you use it a few times it is easy to fold up and it is compact which is perfect for my small car. I've only had it a few months so I can't comment on it's durability, but the functionality is great.

Ditto, and mine has lasted forever, I'm amazed at the longevity of my clicgear.

I have the bag boy tri swivel 2 and love it. The swivel wheel is a complete game changer.

I am still on my used 3.0. I love it. I use it all the time. I have never had an issue with any part of it breaking. I say go back to the 3.5.

The Stewart R1-S is superb. Ingenious mechanism, folds small and built like a tank.

One poor thing is the cover over the space to hold nick-nacks which is very flimsy but I don’t use that at all. It’s been described as the Rolls-Royce of push trolleys and rightly so.

I have only used 2 push carts so far. First was the sun mountain micro cart which I liked but wanted a change. Next and my current is the 3.5 which I couldn’t imagine switching from

Another vote for the ClicGear 3.5 No issues with mine going on 3 years. I would get another for 2 reasons, familiarity and ease of use.

I have the same one and have 0 complaints at all. Works great!

All wearable parts are replaceable. I replaced the brake on mine at the end of last season

Thanks witchita. Link works. I have little patience or aptitude for these things, but I may give it a shot. The cable no longer gets tight on my 3.5 when I pull up the lever. It may be a simple fix (for a better skilled mechanic).

I have approximately 500 rounds on my 3.5+ with no end in sight. A few bumps and bruises on it, yes. But no mechanical issues or anything that has caused me to seek a replacement.

I picked up a Sun Mountain speed cart last winter. So far I've been really happy with it, and have very few complaints. My only small criticism is that I wish it folded up a bit smaller. That's not really much of a hassle though in the grand scheme of things.

It's miles better than my last (el-cheapo) cart.

Another ClicGear 3.5+ vote here, love mine going on 2 seasons now and it’s held up extremely well!

As far as your brake cable goes, I’m not near mine right now but I’ll take a look tonight, most cable controlled brake will have an adjustment on them. Cable stretches over time and it’s probably a fairly simple fix, it may be something as simple as a set screw backing out and just needing the slack pulled back up and tightened back down. Kind of like brakes on a bicycle.

I went cheap with the CaddyTek EZ 3 wheel several years ago and am still very happy with my decision. Comes with all the attachments, easy to fold/unfold, tubular steel so very durable, big wheels rolls very easily. Only thing I regretted not having was the hand brake but if those are prone to fail I feel a little better about it. The foot break on the CaddyTek is simple enough to engage/disengage.

I don't recall the OP saying specifically that his brake cable broke. I had to replace the brake cog because all of the little tabs eventually broke off. It was an easy fix with a replacement part but different from the brake cable.

Not from the first post.

Ahh. I missed that. Tightening the cable is much easier than the repair I made. Just like a bike cable.

The cable doesn’t not tighten when you pull up the lever on the 3.5. Pulling up the lever doesn’t do anything.

You guys have me curious - I will pull (both of them) out and see if I can piddle with it one day this week.

I’d definitely try, could be something that won’t cost you a dime. Check YouTube also, there might be a video that’ll help you troubleshoot it a little.
