Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2012 6:44 pm Post subject: Beringer Nose Wheel-RV10

Hi all

 

I'm getting ready to order the finish kit and had a really good look at the Beringer nose wheel for the RV10 last week and came away quite impressed.

 

The price as listed in Beringer's catalogue seems kind of high ($649), but I see Vans "list" has a Beringer nose assembly for $475 (the standard nose wheel is about $300).  Has anyone installed the Beringer nose wheel from Vans?

  

At $475 I might "jump" at the Bernger wheel, at $649 probably not.  The other factor is I have no experience with a tube less aircraft tire.  Any/all opinions welcome.  

 

Regards,

  

Rick

I think the question is what does the more expensive wheel do over the 

stock wheel? Is  that worth the extra money when it will hide inside the 

wheel pants?  I'm finding even the 300 unbelievable, as the stock 

(incorrect) Matco wheel a couple years ago was $130, the correct Matco 

wheel was the same price.

Kelly, don't quote me on that price($300).  I looked at the plans and tried to figure out what parts are required.  That price was for wheel/tire/tube/spacers etc, essentially what the Beringer kit included.

  

Yes you're right, is the price worth it for something hidden in the pant?  Certainly the valve stem striking the fork issue is solved with the Beringer.  I'm not ordering my finish kit for another month or 2 so I will give this some thought (and the remainder of the finish kit list for that matter). 

  

Thx,  Rick

I just deleted the nose wheel and tires from my finish kit. Ordered 

correct nosewheel and axle & spacers from Matco. That solves both the 

tube problem and the nose fork wear problem. Maybe cost me $150 minus 

whatever credit I got for the deletion. Yes the Beringer is very 

attractive..but I don't think it does anything for performance. Maybe 

stronger, but is it needed?  Then ordered tires and tubes I wanted from 

Desser. Got what I wanted and cost no more than the McCreary's Van's 

supplies.
