    I've had two years so far flying my RV-9A and no problems with a nose wheel tire going flat. Steve Dwyer ----- Original Message ----- From: Watson Colleen To: rv9-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 9:42 PM Subject: RV9-List: Nose wheel tube I have been flying my RV9A for a little over three years now and for the most part it has been very trouble free. Yesterday I had my second flat tire on the nose wheel. On both occasions I had checked the tires before I departed my home airport, landed without incident at another airport and when I started to leave an hour later the nose tire was flat. With a great deal of effort I was able to get the tire off, the tube out, my spare tube installed and the tire back on. The first tube failed with a very slight split on the side wall. The second tube failed with a very small pin hole in the side wall. On very careful examination of the tire I could find nothing that would cause the failures. Has any one else had this kind of trouble? If so how have you resolved it? I am considering buying another wheel and carrying an inflated tire and wheel as a spare instead of just the tube. Thanks for your help and interest, Dick Watson N509RW

    No problems with nose wheel but I've noticed that as your brake pads wear there is a chance that-as they approach or slightly exceed max wear-they might leak brake fluid and allow air into the lines as the reservoir empties out. Albert Gardner Yuma, AZ N872RV
