You'd probably need to replace all four wheels — and whether you can purchase suitable ones is questionable. You'll also need to ensure that the case is strong enough in the area you propose to attach the extra wheels — the fact that there are buffers there doesn't mean that the area is automatically strong enough.

In a two-wheel design, the wheels tend to be larger than the wheels on 4-wheel models, so they roll forward in a straight line better than 4-wheeled bags, thanks to the sheer physics of their size. If speed is your highest priority, choose a 2-wheeled bag.
In short, the 3-1-1 rule is: Each liquid you bring through the TSA checkpoint must be in a 3.4-ounce or smaller container (3), all containers must be placed inside one clear quart-size plastic bag (1) and each passenger is only allowed one plastic bag (1).
But when it comes to the number of wheels on your luggage, more isn't always better. Two-wheeled luggage is still a better choice for some people. Below, we've demystified the dilemma to help you decide which luggage is the best luggage for you. To roll or not to roll… is not the question.
The friction force at the rolling wheels constrains wheels to roll without slipping, the report states. This constraint imposes a coupling between the translational motion and the three-dimensional rotational motion of the suitcase that drives the rocking instability.
Rolling reduces friction. It is always easier to roll than to slide a body over another. That is the reason it is convenient to pull the luggages fitted with rollers.
They both have their pros and cons, so it all comes down to how you're traveling, how often, and where you're going. Spinner luggage is more susceptible to breakage because the wheels move in different directions. This is especially true when you're rolling over uneven surfaces like cobblestone.
Since then, the Rollaboard® has come a long way and wheeled luggage has easily become the most important piece of travel gear most travelers own. Today, 4-wheeled bags, also called spinner luggage, have surpassed two-wheel bags in popularity among leisure travelers.
Number of Wheels - 2, 4, or 8Some spinner luggage even comes in eight-wheeled options. Doubling up the spinner wheels on each corner of the rolling bag gives the luggage added durability and stability. Plus, eight wheels sharing the work lowers the chances for ever needing wheel repairs or replacements.
Typically, a 23kg suitcase size will have the following measurements: Length: 71-81 cm (28-32 inches )Width: 43-51 cm (17-20 inches)Depth: 26-30 cm (10-12 inches)
On all flights, except to and from the United States, each passenger can purchase a checked luggage weight allowance of 20 kg, 25 kg, 30 kg, or 40 kg. It doesn't matter how many bags the total weight is split into, but no bag can be over 32 kg (70 lbs) in weight and 319 cm (126 inches) in total dimensions.
Suitcases with 2 wheels offer one major advantage in particular: in most models, the two wheels are larger than in cases with 4 wheels. If you have to pull the case over longer distances and also on uneven paths, it is usually much more comfortable with 2 wheels.
A: To measure luggage wheel size, measure the diameter across the center of the wheel and the width (thickness) of the wheel in millimeters. Therefore the 76mm wheel in this listing refers to 76mm diameter by 24mm width. Helpful?
Rinse well and allow the wheel to air dry. Next, you should lubricate the wheel to ensure it runs smoothly and squeak free. Grab a bottle of WD-40® Multi-Use Flexible Straw and spray it liberally onto your suitcase wheels. Use the flexible bendable straw feature to reach inside of the wheels for maximum lubrication.
