I love the sound of those trucks!

This is a very nice conversion!

Regarding changing the wheel:
It is possible by one person on a regular road. There are instructions and special tools to place the wheel including tire onto the hub. You just have to be very careful to avoid the wheel tipping over.

But the newest trick is to let the wheel be fixed and just remove the tire. This can be done if the wheels are converted to tubeless and because of the special wheels called "Sprengringfelge". I don't know the english word for it.

If someone has contact to Kurt he may inform him that most of the german KAT owners are found at http://www.lkw-allrad.de . There is also a forum with an international section.

It's called a "split rim" or "3 piece rim". The 3 pieces being outer flange, main part of wheel, and spring steel retaining ring. Another vital piece being rubber O-ring.
On my U500 they are made by Lemmerz - in India!
