Great, thanks! - I'll order a pair of the solid wheels. Also on the topic of plastic water pipe that reminds me I meant to ask at some point if it is OK to store the PA14 flat on a concrete floor, or should I be putting two bits of plastic pipe under as I've seem some folk suggest?

I have some 55mm pipe that I could use but it does seem a little excessive to need to stick it under every time I bring it in. Maybe it's more a thing for long-term storage or really hot days?

If storing flat on a concrete floor I'd just buy some foam matting and lay it between the PA and the concrete floor.

As Shane said here, PAs are a bit stronger than other models just don't leave the cart wheels in for storage as the yak will distort.
