About this part
A larger tailwheel tracks straighter and is much less likely to blow out than the standard 8-inch wheel. It rolls over pavement seams and rough strips instead of dropping into them, and it's at home on grass, gravel and sand.
The fork and hub are made from current-production aluminum alloys for long service life. Many internal parts are made by The Landing Gear Works, and most swap with original Scott parts, so repairs are quick.
Keep the tire at 65–70 PSI and it will give you years of service.
