I have seen one trigear which needs regular attention to its wheel bearings
(nosewheel in particular). The PFA inspector for this Europa believes that
this is likely to be an on-going issue with the present design if wheel
shimmy is to be limited to acceptable levels. Not knowing anything about
the trigear setup I don't know whether this comment is representative of
all trigears.
