Default New Brake Product Line?

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Beringer Aero Wheels and Brakes?

Historically, the company's main product line involves motorcycles but they are now venturing into the aviation market.

I don't think aviation is very new to them. They've made brake products for all sorts of models for a while. RVs may be in the last few years though.
I can't speak from a user perspective, but I did jump on their "First time builder discount" last year and bought the full package for my 7a project. Like all their products, the wheels and brake parts are artwork. I hope they perform as good as they look.

Thanks,
On their website, there is a scroll-down for "Experimental" but the selections don't include RVs.

Not sure why they don't list Vans as a manufacturer.
Try Aircraft Spruce. It looks like the kits are split. Fuse kit, mainwheel/brake kit and nose wheel kit. I assume there's a tail wheel kit as well.
