I finally got around to replacing my nose gear
wheel and bearings with a setup from Grove. Why? Well, the
Matco setup that Van's provides puts a lot of rolling resistance on the
wheel because of bearing setup. A number of people are now switching to
the Grove setup to get a free rolling wheel and thus lessen some of the
oscillation effects of the nose gear when it comes down on the runway.
this setup from Gove is made of Magnesium and is several pounds
lighter than the Matco whell
