I'm looking to get one of these to use for day sessions. Do they still suffer with the under bag rubbing against the wheel or has this been rectified. Also, can you still order the straight handles? Basically any pros and cons...

The straight handles have been discontinued

The under bag doesn't rubber on the newer models and just keep a eye on eBay for handles think mine were off a Mk2 fat boy then get a puncture proof wheel and you've got a cracking little barrow

Cheers both. I remember someone posting a picture of one on here a long time ago, It had a different prestige under bag and straight handles...
My minds made up, I'm going with it....

Think that pic was mine ive got an early one that had a different bag fitted and I added the straight handles, brilliant barrow and even though I've got a power porter the portalite is brilliant and I wouldn't be without it

Straight handles make a massive difference
My bag rubs on the wheel and has almost gone through
I also bought the seat that attaches to it but rarely use that as I just lay the unhooking mat across the barrow if I want a seat.
But The seat does help the old back so may start taking it more this season

The bag.
I had some straight handles for mine after everyone was raving about them but sold them on as it felt like the barrow was at 45 degrees and I was going to stove the rod tips into the floor, each to their own.

Where is that? Looking at a new barrow at the moment and that seems like a very good deal

Don't suppose anyone knows what size puncture proof wheel to order for the porterlite mk2 and possibly where to get one from, I really don't want to pay £50 from prestige.
Great barrow, had mine around 10 years now and if anything happened to it I would buy another without hesitation.
