Default Looking for feedback on Beringer Wheel and Disc Brake Kit for LS Gliders

Le mardi 5 mars 2019 09:07:30 UTC+1, a écritÂ*:
I would not have a tubeless tyre Beringer wheel and brake kit again. It looks very nice and the brake works well but to change a damaged or worn tyre requires having a special tyre compression tool, a new set of O-rings, an expensive tubeless tyre, an available set of instructions, and several working hours. Have those ready in advance (or have a spare wheel and tyre assembly made up as some owners do for contests) or you will be grounded until you get them if a tyre is damaged.


The tubelss thing was exactly what had me worrying enough to go for a Tost Penta system for my Ventus. On top of this, the Tost system is about 25% cheaper than the Béringer system.
