I got lazy today so I went "vertical" with my Rock & Roller keeping it tight and short bed,...easy in & out.

Were you able to fit that juke box on it on the way out???

That's how I do mine - Xstand, Xseat, Keyboard, Compact topped with a Gator bag. Away I come and go...

This is fine for NH gigs but all my other larger jobs like I had tonight after the one pictured.. required a full gear R&R horizontal kart option.....glad its so flexible.

Thats how I've been doin it for awhile. Keyboard stand, keyboard, bench and mic stand in a bag, and speakers stands upright and bungied to the handle.
Just sold my smaller R&R to a guitar player who does a ton of gigs. He's thrilled that he can go from 6 trips to 2. Have to teach these kids everything, he never heard of the R&R ! Wait till I hook up my BK7M for him.

It blows my mind when I see gigging musicians carrying gear under their arms etc etc and DON't use a Rock & Roller kart on jobs .....I have the R8 & R10 models simply the best bang for the buck and your back will love you big time too..

Hey guys, I can't keep my rear tires inflated. No nails or hole of any type; gotta air up once a month, at least. Anyone else have a problem? What's your solution?

Since my rig is so tiny, I stopped using the cart unless I have a really long walk to the stage, like the casinos. It just another thing to store, and some places look at you funny when you roll in gear. There are some venues that won't even allow an entertainer to use the regular hallways or elevators if they are using a wheeled device. I've been directed to service elevators, through kitchens etc because of what seemed to be a "commercial" looking rig.
I can make it from trunk to stage in 2 easy trips without breaking my back and all my soft cases store inside the kb case during a show. This is easily stored under tables, in closets or back in the car if the client requests so. The cart weighs more than any one piece of my gear .... do the math!

Call R and R buy the newer airless tires

Take DNJ's advice Cass, that's what I did, great solution!

Cass, I had the same problem put a couple squirts of Slime in the tires, and no problems since and that was three years ago. It only takes a pin-hole to cause the problem. The tires are very thin and my first leak was caused by a rose thorn.

they are lighter also

LOL ... I played a wedding cocktail reception at this upscale Country Club in Long Island NY ... got there real early to set up, parked in the front, took my gear in the front door and placed it in the lobby ... there was NOBODY in the place but the manager went ballistic when she saw I went through the front door ! ... told me in no uncertain terms that I'd better make sure I went out through the back ...
Having played in a 'wedding band' most of my career I would say I've entered through the kitchen on about 95% of my gigs ...

hey rules are rules,....the back entrance is a gift when there's hundreds of people all over especially big catering halls with up to 10 rooms running parties all at once..
I Love to sneak out the back door baby!

I just hate all the times in the past where I had to use the Trash entrance. I have a funny story for you. My wife is a big Johnny Mathis fan. We've been to see him many times all over the country. We saw him a few years ago here in Baltimore at our Meyerhoff Symphany Hall. After the show we went around to the back and waited for his car to come out. What I saw blew me away. When the big door opened, here was Johnny and his driver walking around the dumpster to get into his car. I just said to myself wow, it doesn't matter what level you are at, you still have to walk around a trash heap to get in and out of the venue.

Going vertical worked well, except that all my cable stored in the front of the keyboard bag dropped to one end??

In trimming down my setup I stopped carrying the folding type stools, etc, and just go with whatever they have regarding a chair at the gig,......alleviates transporting more gear too.
And all my wires are Velcro tied also so they don't get messed up in the cases.
