In case you aren't aware, Matco also makes an axle replacement - see http://www.matcomfg.com/AXLEASSEMBLYA24125INCH-idv-3657-1.html
This is a brilliantly simple product that eliminates the bearing preload / galling issues on the standard VANS forks / axle setup. It took all of 10 minutes to install. It uses an additional bolt to keep the axle from rotating with the wheel. This in turns eliminates the galling of the forks.
Cheers

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
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, excellent, thx for all your help.� I'm going to forget about the Beringer wheel, and just delete the Vans parts and order from Matco, wheel, axle etc.� I think I will also delete the tire/tube combo Vans sells as well, and buy the Dresser tire/tube that most have ended up using.
�
Thx again,� Rick
