Default Beringer Disc Brake Kit for Schemm-Hirth gliders - experience and effectiveness?

A full spare Beringer wheel with mounted tyre as an essential? Seriously?


If one has a flat at a contest grid, changing the tire would take too long.
Undoing the axle, caliper, and disc and swapping the mounted tire/rim is
relatively painless. Similarly, have a spare mounted tailwheel...

The tubeless tire is quite resilient, but Texas thorns are impressive too.

If you're not too concerned about missing a day, no spare required ;-)

See ya, Dave
