Front cycle wings
RazMan - 16/4/07 at 05:34 PM

I saw some nice wide (260mm) cycle wings on the SVC stand, but they were about £80 the pair for the posh fake carbon ones.
Does anyone sell these in vanilla flavour? (plastic or GRP) Alternatively some second hand ones would do as I want to cut them up for inner arches on my middy.

Locost idea: cut down the bottom of a plastic dustbin - you could maybe get 2 semicircular ones out of one bin (depends on the size, I suppose). You wouldn't be able to see much of them from the outside.

Far too narrow I'm afraid but thanks for the thought.

Humbug, The plastic dustbin idea is good in theory but the plastic is so thin it won't hold a shape very well without building a frame to support it. The cycle wings already have a strong shape due to the returned edge.
