Dear Vaude, I have a Module 60 where the airline has managed to snap of a wheel recently. I am in contact with the UK supplier of Vaude parts, but is the repair similar to above and therefore I need to order the right hand side plastic/wheel? Thank you for any help.

Dear Jane, yes, you can use this repair guide also for your Module Trolley. You will get a set of wheels, you so can change both if you want.

Dear Vaude

I have a trolley Samoa, and it seems I can't get replacements like for the Tobago. Any idea how I could find wheels to replace the broken ones?
