For anyone who did not see this in VAF
● BERINGER Introduces Nosewheel Solution for Van’s RV-10
Tallard, France: BERINGER Wheels & Brakes®, the high-performance leaders in light aircraft wheels and brakes, announces a new nosewheel and axle solution for the popular Van’s RV-10.
The new nosewheel kit includes the lightweight BERINGER wheel and a mounted tubeless tire, plus the unique 1-piece thru-axle and associated parts and hardware necessary for the installation.
Builders have long battled the setup of the nose wheel, which, in the original configuration, often results in either
too-tight or too-loose fitment, resulting in poor ground handling or excess wear.
Not only is the sensitive problem of front-axle tension eliminated with the BERINGER thru-axle, the use of low-resistance ball bearings (instead of the usual tapered rollers) noticeably reduces rolling resistance. While this may not shorten your takeoff roll, you will appreciate it when you’re parking your RV after a long flight.
Retail is $649, and includes high-strength aluminum axle and spacer, plus the assembled wheel assembly with mounted and pressure-tested Michelin tire. 9.1 pounds, total.
Beringer wheels feature sealed lifetime ball bearings, high-strength aluminum axles, and a tubeless tire design, saving weight and lowering temperature buildup while reducing the chance of a blowout.
Beringer will exhibit at Oshkosh, Booth # 437, and the company plans to offer an “exchange rate discount” for customers who pay with dollars. (The amount will depend on the prevailing exchange rate.)
Spare and replacement parts are readily available in the USA through Aircraft Spruce.

Seems to me, IIRC the prices I paid Matco for their solution, this is
2-3 times more expensive than getting the Matco axle and spacers to go
with the correct Matco wheel. Beringer wheels are beautiful, but I
suspect not all builders will want to spend for this deluxe wheel/axle.

When you back out all the Vans items (assuming you do this at time of
purchase) is it that much more? Probably so but their equipment sure looks
nice.

There's also the tire replacement problem. This is a tubeless tire
which makes changing much like a car tire.

Vans subtracts out the cost of the items deleted. There is no difference
in price between the wrong Matco wheel and the correct one, so all you
are really paying for is the axles and spacers plus shipping. However, I
have found it desirable to forget pricing soon after the item arrives.
I doubt I have $100 over the price of Van's stock arrangement. I agree
the Beringer is a beautiful wheel.
