Hi, I need a set of Mesa Trak-Loc 3" casters.

Do you know a shop in Europe to get them?
The Mesa distributor in our country don't has it in his pricelist..

Well, there are many shops with casters around, but I need the removable ones.

The Mesa type seems to be the most rugged. On my Bergantino HS410 cab I have the stem type and one bushing has broken.
Thus I want to replace them all with more heavy duty removable casters.

It might be worth giving Mark @ Bass Direct a try. I know he retails a lot of MESA gear.

Upon further searching I found this:

They ship to Europe, no problem.

Probably cheaper than Mesa's too.
I will give the Bassdirect try, but probably will end up with the stuff above.


Nice pictorial FWIW:

Thanks for the tip!
These are essentially same as Mesa, I have found the same parts as you suggested in the local e-shop for about one third of Mesa price..
