Hi
I found trying to ensure that all four of the bars that the front wings attach to were the same height off the tyre.
First I went to a motor factor and got a couple of feet of large diameter hose and taped two pieces to the top of the tyre.
Then get a small block of wood that will fit snuggly between the tyre and the unbent stay and position it so the top of the wood is level with the top
of the two pieces of hose using a spirt level.
Then simply bend the stay over the wood until it touches the hose then check it flat on top with the spirit level. Move the wood to the rear stay and
repeat.
Put the wing on and check your happy with the fit and adjust as necessary.
Then replicate on the other side.
Hope that helps, it seems areal pain when to start off but if you have hose to use as a gauge for bent height and a piec e of wood it only takes about
20 minutes to bend both sides.
Hope that helps

Sounds daft but make sure the tyres that you have on on the final ones. I bent mine over the build wheels and then put on some Pro race wheels with
R888. These were bigger and it took ages to bend them back to fit the larger tyre.
