Beringer Valve

[GregMac]

Just for InFo, I’ve got the Beringer Front Wheel on RV10, been good with no dramas. A friend who is in the later stages of RV10 build, also has the Beringer Front wheel, the other day he was fitting the front wheel fairing and had a need to add air, had just finished and when removing the air hose the valve stem just broke of. He’s getting a replacement from our local agent, but the advice has been to always have a spare on hand because they (the valve stems) are pretty thin and likely to fail. Anyway hope I can post a photo of the broken valve stem, it’s a bit hard to see but the material is very thin. This is a wheel that hasn’t seen service and wasn’t abused with the pumping up process.
