Crown Mountain Farms Majacraft Trundler Reply

Heard back from Klaus at Crown Mountain Farms today.
CMF was at the Sock Summit and apparently there was an upper respiratory infection going around there that downed a few people including Klaus.

Majacraft did reply to the issue:
When the trundler was designed we didn't put rubber feet on any of the wheels. Later we put them on the Rose only, and later still we decided to put them on all wheels. The feet can be permanently repositioned to accommodate a trundler - there is no need to keep taking them on and off.

Here are the instructions we send out with the trundler -
"Place one of the washers onto the axle. Put a wheel onto the axle, leaving a small clearance for rotation. Place the golf tee head over the axle dome, and tap gently on to the assembly to hold the wheel in place. Repeat with the other wheel. When using, fit over the rear base plates on your spinning wheel. You may need to remove or reposition the rubber feet to do this.
We could of course position the feet to suit the trundler from new but as not everyone purchases one we just put them near the outer edges."

Majacraft buyers be aware!!
If you purchase a trundler, it will only fit if you have an older model wheel.
If you purchase a new wheel, and get a trundler, also get your work tools out!
The feet must be "repositioned" in order for the trundler to fit.
That Majacraft knows of the issue and does not choose to place the base feet in a way that works with their accessories is odd.

Btw, the "remove and reposition" section was not included in my packed instructions. I must have received an older trunder that did not have these revised instructions.
Am not pleased about drilling holes in my wheel to make this trundler fit.
