>
> Hello All
> Im considering the Beringer wheel and looking for experience of others with Beringer.
Ive had 3 pinch flats on my mono and will get the better tubes and higher
inflation to help prevent future failure but still concerned about being
stranded on a strip.
> Perhaps the tubeless tire Beringer will work better and still allow for less
tire pressure and help with landing. Also the added breaking power.
> Thanks for any input and advice!

Apologize for repeat on this, I am not getting replies from matronics.
Went to their site and I see one reply, so thanks!
Still investigating problems.

I have the Beringer complete kit but no hours using it yet. It's been on the market
about 10 years many Europa owners have been using it. In the beginning there
were worries expressed about it getting flats too or rotating on the rim at
low air pressure but I have yet to read one post with any complaints, that says
something.
The other issue is do you use the motorcycle style brake handle? My answer is a
Big Yes! It is much better ergonomically for a pilot.
I can hold the stick back with brake applied by the left hand while I advance the
throttle with the right hand, it's great. It's complete with parking brake
and a anti lock brake type feature that is actually a pressure limiter, you don't
have to install this feature but why not?
I run the brake line into the cockpit through the landing gear frame tube.
The Brake disk won't ever rust, it's SS, twice as thick as before. Aug 15, /22
posted some photos of my installation, "what did you do with your Europa"
I'm sure you will get other comments but I think it's a real improvment.

So Rob Martin just made me a set of Nev Cowlings for K365 and I am busy trying
to work out if I have to use standard Europa ducting, radiators, plenum etc. Seems
that I dont but I will need details of Laminovas, bigger water rads, baffles
etc I have a 912S and standard Europa engine mount having failed to source
the Nav one peice mount.

Jerry the photos of the Beringer wheel & brake were posted 8/15 2022 but they are
to be found in the 8/12...2022 " what did you do with your Europa last week".
I chose the Airtrac 800-6, here is a photo of the Beringer with 800-6 beside a
700-6.
The 700-6 is 0.7 lbs lighter and 1/2" shorter and 1" narrower. The total weight
of the wheel and brake with 800-6 Airtrac is 19.99 lbs. or 9.07 Kg, take your
pick.
