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

I have converted my Ventus from drum brake to disc brake. I had to chose between Béringer and the relatively new Tost Penta, and I took the latter:
- I'd rather not have a tubeless
- the Béringer kit is about 30% more expensive than the Penta kit
- I talked to S-H, and they rather install Penta than Béringer.

The Penta is about 50 grams more than the original drum braked wheel. Braking action is very good.


Is the Penta available for the D2a and V2a? In the USA right now the Tost is almost twice the cost of the Beringer wheel. Please let us know where you purchased the Tost Penta kit.
