Tiger avon cycle wing fitting

This may seem silly but fitting my cycle wings when I bolt them to the uprights they touch the wheel...

Is this normal?

What's the best way to space it away from the wheels?

Washers?
Hollow tube to thread the bolt through?


Something else?





Thanks

No, not normal. What size wheel (including offset) and tyre are fitted ? It may be possible to elongate the hole in the bottom bracket which has the effect of moving the top of the stay in or out. A picture may help showing where it's touching.

Not sure of the offset I think 35 but the cycle wings came off a tiger :-(

I'll take a pic when I go out this pm

If you are using the Tiger cycle wing stays you will need spacers to move them away from wheel.

David,

I used 15mm tube spacers made form stainless instrument tubing, then bend the tubes in or out for your wheel offset.
