My Beringer wheel also performed flawlessly throughout my time of ownership but it only dawned on me when I was already with the glider on a long gliding holiday in South Africa that if I damaged the tyre I would be grounded until I could source the necessary parts. Stupidly I had not figured that out in advance even after having helped a friend to change the tyre on his Beringer wheel which was a real fiddle.

For the next trip I was prepared with the tyre compression tool, a new tubeless Michelin tyre, and the O-rings kit (and a print out of the instructions).
