Do a VAF search on "nose wheel shimmy". You'll find a TON of information.

Get a Berringer nose wheel. The Shimmy will go away. Plus you get the advantage of a tubeless tire.

the last time I looked, the Beringer wheel was something like $400, but there was one almost identical that was $300 ( rough prices).
anyone figured a way to use the less expensive one?
I appears that the Van's yoke is 1/4" narrower than spec for the standard Beringer wheel, but with all the plugs and such that we use to adapt the stock wheel to the yoke, surely there's a way?
anyone done this?
want to share the secret?

Hello,

My buddy and I bought a Grove tubeless wheel. An Aerosport tubeless tire from Desser.

I haven't flown so far with it, my buddy has 20 landings on it, all is fine.

The tire is much easier to install than on the beringer, maybe you want to checkout the installation manual. On the Grove, you just put it on, screw the wheel together, pump it up and its done!

I look if I can find pictures.

I do not have any relations to Beringer, Grove or Desser.

try different air pressures in the nose.

I have the Matco axle and recently i suddenly experienced a nose wheel shimmy. My breakout force was off. Tightened the nut to 22-24 lbs and it is good to go.
I would check that first.

Ditto on this as the first thing to check.
