Ok guys, so my last post i put that my 16" wheels didnt fit under my brackets.

I have found they do actually fit under the brackets, they just dont fit under the cycle wings as they are to slim.

Now i need some new cycle wings, i thaught that carbon fibre ones would be the best option, does anyone no where i can get a pair from for fairly cheap and does anyone have any pictures?

If not carbon fibre, does anybody no if MK do a wider pair?

Trim the sides of the wings down, the tyres will then clear...

A flap wheel does a neat and quick job

MK do sell extra wide front cycle wings.

OR if you are adventurous, and who of us isn't, you can use Mr. Whippy's "wing widening" technique. It is really not difficult to do a good job. After all, I did it myself on my scuttle, which was much harder than the wings would be.

i dont think those will do the job as i would be using 16" rims and they are for 13" rims

C'mon, get out the grinder. We know you want to...

what about a set of Dax ones, they use 15", 16" and 17" wheels as standard (205 wide)
I can measure mine if you later if you need sizes


or if you've got a bit more cash and want real carbon ones you could drop iiyama a u2u

how much do the dax ones cost?

I think carbon fibre ones will look the bees knees aswell so if i get a decent price, say around £100 i would buy those...

I've no idea what they cost from dax (mine came as part of a build pack)
