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.

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.
