I like to keep between 35-40 PSI in the nose wheel with this tubeless design.
In the tube style wheels (Matco/Grove) I would keep 40-50 PSI normaly.

Walt, why the difference in pressures between the two wheels?

In my experience low pressure in tube tires will cause tube failures so I always keep them at the upper end of the scale.

Anybody with a Beringer nosewheel have any problem fitting the nosewheel fairing? When I put a 5/8 spacer above the wheel and put the wheelpant on, as the manual indicates, the fairing sits way too high. I wonder if the diameter of the tire on the Beringer wheel is a little bigger than the Vans standard?

My wheelpant fit just like always when I replaced my stock nose wheel with the Beringer.
I would be hesitant to have less than 5/8" clearance between the wheel and tire. |

It uses the same tire so there should not be any difference.

comparing ACS & Beringer
ACS is now showing a "Nose wheel 5" with tire 11x4.00-5" 8ply and aluminum axle" which seems to correspond to the SRV02A in the Beringer catalog. The ACS listing below that ("Nose wheel kit as described above, with Michelin Aviator Tire 5.00-5" 10ply Tubeless Weight: 8.9 Lbs") seems to imply an optional different wheel & tire, but according to the Beringer catalog, that one is actually for the RV-10.
They are priced in the Beringer catalog at $558 and $649 (RV-10) USD, and $730 and $720 (RV-10) at ACS.
