Here's a bad thing about living where I do. I was trying to get hold of a
pair of wheels to make myself a trolley for the kayak.snip

The trolley I wheeled my boat onto the Shetland ferry with was build by
a pal from a former wheelie bin, for rather less than the cost you got
quoted for postage!

Not as good as a "proper" kayak trolley, but /very/ cost effective!

I already have all the other components and tried a pair of old scooter
wheels which were only 'driveable' on the tarmac. If I can't get an
affordable pneumatic pair I'm going over to the big field near my house.
It's always full of these people hitting balls about with sticks which they
carry in bags on decent looking wheels.

Golf trolley wheels are quite strong enough for a canoe. Try & get the
sort that come on their own stub axle. You can fit it into a suitable
hole.
