I hope you appreciate the effort! The Matco wheel (with bearings), disc and caliper weigh 2.917 Kg each (5.834 Kg per pair). The advertised weight of the Beringer equivalent is 1.977 Kg each (3.954 Kg per pair) for the lightweight 5.00 x 5 p/n RF-002 or 2.445 Kg (4.89 KG per pair) for the heavy duty 5.00 x 5 p/n RF-005 This would indicate a weight savings on the mains (I can't get to my nosewheel to weigh it) of 1.88 Kg or 0.944 Kg depending on which option you go for. The Beringer also uses twin pistons as standard and is beautifully CNCd and anodised as standard. I can't see why these would not make a worthwhile replacement for a standard tri-gear. I intend to use them on my "Conventional". Nigel On 25/02/2016 14:48, david park wrote: > > I would also be interested in the weight saving.
