Did anyone else at the LAA Rally notice the Beringer wheel & brake upgrade kit
for the Europa monowheel? What do you think of it?
It promises to save 4kg and allow use of a tubeless tyre while improving braking
and saving maintenance costs. It looks very smart in red-anodized aluminium.
The flyer sheet says it uses DOT4 fluid and quotes 1429 euro for the complete
kit including tyre and master cylinder with parking brake.
I can't find more than a passing mention of it on their website:
http://www.beringer.fr/aero.php
The UK distributor for Beringer is Pioneer Aircraft Ltd:
http://www.pioneer.aero/
but they only have a link to the Beringer website.
While it looks very nice, I don't think I want to spend that much just now.
Still,
it's good to know that despite so many builders converting to trigear, some
third parties think the monowheel is worth supporting.
