I'd like to see a picture of why the wheel change fixes all of these
issues and is so great. I don't understand....it seems that Matco
now fixed the Axle, and that it's just Van's that chose the wrong
wheel. So if a builder has the correct wheel and the Matco axle,
wouldn't they be perfectly happy too? I need some photos to know
why the Grove gets praise in the situation...does the axle design
not allow it to spin or spacers spin?
Also, with the Matco axle, even with the old Matco rims that aren't
the "right" ones, the valve stem should clear fine from the looks
of it...and that's with the cap.

FWIW, as a late post on my part, I bought the Grove wheel and
axel...only thing I can say is it's really nice to have a complete
engineered WORKING assembly with no valve stem, bearing preload or
spacers to deal with....I hope that this is the final answer to what
equates to a very simple engineering solution...the nose wheel never
should have generated this much trouble...I knew there would be a

Okay. I am about to put the nose whell on the plane C but I am

I believe the Matco and Grove wheels are both workable solutions to
the nose wheel issues. I installed the Grove wheel and like it better
than the Matco because the wheel should spin freely with the nose
wheel held off the ground. The Grove wheel spins freely, but the Matco
won't because it has more drag due to the bearings/seals. The Grove
bearings/seals are the same as the main gear wheel bearings and don't
drag. My hanger entrance has a slight incline and I could not push the
plane in by myself with the Matco wheel, but I can now that I have the
Grove wheel installed. I really like the Grove axle because there are
no adjustments- put it on and it works. The spacers have pins that
prevent them from spinning.

If you have a Matco nosewheel axle for them, you shouldn't have
a problem running a valve cap on the stem, regardless of the wheel
you use. With the "right" wheel you'll have tons of clearance,
with the "wrong" wheel it'll still work fine. Just note that
I've had all versions of axles/spacers from Van's, And the
Matco Axle setup, and I've always had the "wrong" wheel, and
I STILL have always been able to always run a valve cap. I
just didn't have as much clearance in the past as I do now, now
that I have the Matco Axle setup. For that matter, even if
something weren't yet perfect, it could be fixed easily by
shaving a 1/16" off of the spacer on one side of the
axle, and adding a large flat washer on the other side.
But I hesitate to even say that because that's going to an
extreme that is probably way unnecessary.
Also, if you order the grove nosewheel, I don't think you want
the Matco axle assy, from what it sounds like...although I've
never seen a grove axle assembly picture.

From what I know $299 at Grove gets it all axle, rim etc..
If you already have the Matco rim, send it back to Matco and get the "right" one. I needed to verify that I had an issue first so I was charged as a used rim, even at that price it turned out to be less expensive than the Grove would have been.

Although one may argue that the cap is not necessary, with my finishing kit
and following the instructions to a "t" there is no way I would have been
able to work a solution to allow me to keep a cap on the valve. I had close
to 1/8th overlap with the cap and 1/16th without, even moving spacers and
such would not have worked for me.
I simply want to let many know that in this case what may not work for me or
Tim may or may not work for someone else. Given the chance get the right
tool for the job, in this case the right rim, you can do what I did and see
if it's going to impact you and if it does replace it or you can just do as
many have said, tell Van's to keep the "wrong" rim and order the right one
directly either Grove or Matco.
I ended up ordering a new rim with the axle, I could have tested the new
axle and seen if that solved the gap issue before possibly needing to
replace the rim but I'm okay with having replaced it with the "right" piece.

I'd like to see a picture of why the wheel change fixes all of these
issues and is so great. I don't understand....it seems that Matco
now fixed the Axle, and that it's just Van's that chose the wrong
wheel. So if a builder has the correct wheel and the Matco axle,
wouldn't they be perfectly happy too? I need some photos to know
why the Grove gets praise in the situation...does the axle design
not allow it to spin or spacers spin?
Also, with the Matco axle, even with the old Matco rims that aren't
the "right" ones, the valve stem should clear fine from the looks
of it...and that's with the cap.
