Does anyone use the Matco option wheels and brakes instead of the stock Grove set up? I know its popular to do the Matco on the RV10 but dont hear about it much on the 14.

I’m going with the 6.00x6 Matco/Sky Designs wheel/tire setup on my -14 build.

I did a substitution for the Matco Vans nose wheel with a different Matco wheel to properly accommodate a standard tube. (As reported for both RV10s and 14s).

You can also send your nosewheel to Anti-Splat Aero and they will drill it for a long stem tube when they mod it for lifetime bearings.
