Who would you recommend as best design and quality vs price for cycle wing stays to fit sierra hubs?
Cheers
Made mine from 10mm round bar and 3000miles later they are still going strong.
Point is, design is more important than how much metal they are made from.

looking at the picture above...your flexi is in the sping coils
What yer chattin about fool!!!
Can't really comment about best design cos I haven't noted many others but our standard MK cycle wing stays have covered about 7,000 miles,
been involved in one accident which wrote the car off, clipped a bollard on a trackday at Cadwell and then had to be straightened out and are still
going strong. Based on this they are IMO, very good quality for the money.

design wise, the mk ones would be nice if they were symmmetrical side for side, but alas....
my unmodified mk ones broke.......twice.
the horizontal weld between the flat strip and the round tube seems is a massive stress raiser.
i've welded gussets up the back of both of them now, and they didn't break in the time i had them fixed for.
they don't stand up to hitting a corsa though

25 x 10mm flat bar cold bent and glued arch with sikaflex 221 - rock solid and no fibreglass cracks with no bolts if glued.. works great!
