hi all!
how much seperation do we put on the cycle wings? between tyre and metal plate and between metal plate and wing?
Any dangerous distances for stones???
Would not like the seeing of a stone picked up by the wheel cutting my wing in 2pieces...

EDITED: WOULD NOT
[Edited on 20/6/06 by tks]
I have about 25mm.
I have about 250 miles at the moment!!
(That's the distance between Triton, who is making them in Cornwall, and the car which is in Telford)
Think that will be enough?? 
i asked for clearance not for travelled distance..
what do you mean to say?
Tks
25mm sounds about right to me. Or at least thats what mine will near enough be.
Think it depends on what look you want aswell. Closer the better in my book.
i used 2 lengths of hosepipe gaffer taped on top of wheel and bent the wing stays onto this. arch bonded directly to wing stays.
Hose was approx 3/4" OD (std home garden hose)
Sounds like you are having a bad day, tks!
My wings sit about 3cm over the tyres. It depends on how rigid your supports are (will the wing and/or its supports bounce against the wheel and
tyre?) and if you can get the wheel off when you need to fix the tyre.
The second point is the main reason for not mounting the wing too close - it can stop you from removing the wheel from the hub.
hope this helps,
David
Wheel side
