Hi
When I was at KOSH I spoke to a Matco rep about the "incorrect" nosehweel that Vans sells for the -10. The problem is that the valve stem / cap is to close to (or impacts) the forks when the tube is installed. I thought the only option was to get a replacement half from Matco but that is not the case.
Apperently, according to the rep, if you drill an exit hole for the valve stem in the opposite half (from the side that does have the hole, the stem will come out correctly. You will also have to replicate / enlarge the "U" shaped hole on the interior of the wheel to accommodate the nut that protects the valve stem as it passes into the interior of the wheel. Lastly, you need to fill the original valve stem hole hole.
This is a very simple fix that took only a couple of hours to do.
Cheers
Les

Les, so this is a fix for the original wheel, instead of trading the Vans supplied wheel with the Matco wheel that others done?

Hi Rick
Exactly. I didn't want to have to pull my nose wheel and send it back. The Matco rep was quite helpful in explaining what needed to be done.
He also pointed me to the this link on their website, http://static.veracart.com/matco/item_pdfs/2404/document1.pdf
Notice how the nut sits in the U shaped hole protecting the valve stem. The U shaped hole must be big enough for the nut but too small for the washer. The washer keeps the tube from entering the hole.made for the valve stem & nut.
Cheers
Les
