In nearly all cases a punctured tubeless tyre will deflate slower than tubed tyres and they dont overheat due to the friction between the inner tube and tyre in normal use. Aluminium 2017 is not recommended for anodising, there are better alloys available. The brake control on the stick is different and requires getting used to but it is practical as it frees up the right hand for other tasks. While Beringer give 2 bars as the operating pressure I have mine at 1,5 to 1,6 bars and find the handling satisfactory. Lastly, Beringer also propose a bulkhead mounted slave cylinder that can be mounted in the Classic wheel tunnel.

Based on your experience with this system, do you think that the original master cylinder volume displacement would be enough to be used with the Beringer Caliper ? If so, one could keep the monoW controls as primarily designed in the cockpit and only replace the wheel and caliper/piping with Beringer parts. The price would also be "softer"... About the issue of original piston rusting and for rebuilding a new part, what kind of alloy would you recommend (6061 ? 2024 ?...) BTW thanks John for the spare wheel, It saved me again after an awfull tyre deflation on landing on last september.

I know of Sta-bil in the USA for motor vehicles but not sure what to use on my Rotax 912S here in the UK. Thanks in anticipation.

Don't know about the latter (although I can see no reason to think it would be different) but it certainly seems to need less pressure than the original and to be more effective.
