The stock Vans brakes are fine however aftermarket brakes promise improvements (concerning heat, braking action and weight). They usually come as a complete set (wheel, disk and brake calipers).

The Vans stock nose wheel used to have an axle that was hard to adjust which made most builders order an aftermarket nose wheel but since September 2021, Vans has changed the design and started shipping Matco wheels with a newly designed axle.

Companies supplying aftermarket Brake / Wheel sets

  • Beringer [1] (known for high quality and being lightweight; a good investment, but it is a big one)
  • Grove [2] (known for better master cylinders, the stock ones hang after some years)
  • Matco [3] (known for higher brake action than stock)
