The Murphy Builders Site

I am still running FOKM on the old Matco Gold wheels which were thrown
in with the deal when I bought FOKM. Daryl strongly recommended I spend
the money to buy new wheels for her as these sometimes crack leading to
big trouble. I've had about enough trouble now so am looking for a set.
If anyone on the group has a set they want to part with, I will give
them a good price for them. If not, I will order a set from Murphy prior
to flying her again.

FWIW I upgraded before I flew (MAM gave me a good price on the trade in)
and I like the new wheels. THey are quite a bit heavier but the brakes
will hold at full power (with weight in the baggage area) and they are
light on the pedals which keeps the pressure low in those plastic brake
lines. I have not seen any tendancy to nose over but I guess I've never
stomped on them very hard either yet. Some guys say the golds are fine
but mine had a max static weight label on them that was way under the
Rebel's gross and I didn't like that. THere is a bulletin on assembling
the wheels and aligning the brakes if you don't get instructions with a
recent date on them!
