Hi Pilots,

I have a V2cxT that has the standard S-H disc brake that no longer
works very well. *I have been through the obvious fixes; pads, new
fluid, bleed, etc. and haven't been able to bring it back up to
original performance which was adequate but not stellar.

I know a number of pilots have complained about this world-wide and S-
H has issued a voluntary TN. *The fix is to basically throw the old
stuff away and replace everything including wheel and tire with the
French-made Beringer system. *Beringer makes performance brake systems
for motorcycles, aircraft, etc. *It is not cheap and probably not an
easy install.

Does any one have first hand knowledge about this fix? *How easy is it
to install and what are the performance gains? *I hate to lay out the
cash without an understanding of how much of an improvement I will
see.

Let me know, thanks.

Bob

Better idea. *Remove the Tost wheel and brake and send them to Vintage
Brake (www.vintagebrake.com) in Sonora, California for a rebuild (~
$150). *After three years, my Nimbus 2C still has powerful brakes.

The Ventus 2cx has a Tost "adaptation" of a cleveland wheel and brake
plus a motorcycle handle-mount master cylinder. This is a disc system
and not related to the Tost mechanical hub. I'm not sure Vintage Brake
will help here.

Hope that helps,
Best Regards, Dave
