Everything fit perfectly. You use your old wheels,brakes and axles. I have flown with this gear for over 50 hrs now. It is a vast improvement over the old gear. Better ground handling, No bungees,gear spread increases by almost 3 ft,no weight increase....it doesn't get any better. I even sold my old gear on EBAY so recovered a major portion of the purchase price. John McBean at Kitfox also offers this style of gear (albeit using different wheels,brakes,axles..last time I checked) You also have the option of the tough heavier all aluminum spring gear from Grove.

However, we also offer the larger axle size if one wants to go to tires like the 26 or 29=94 Alaskan Bush Tires. So basically we offer all 4 gear systems, Bungee, Grove-Aluminum, Bush Gear with =BE axles (your existing ones or new) and 1.25=94 axles for those already using a different wheel and brake system or wanting to go to the Much larger tires.
