IVA Ok??
Hi - I have heard some conflicting views on the following method of attaching cycle wings to the wing stays: (Basically dome headed bolts)
I know that I need to have trim around the edges, and also plan to locate the side repeater on the outer corner in the middle (to the wheel)
Basically some say no bolts at all, just glue the wings on to the stays, others say these bolt heads are fine?
Cheers
Matt

Would think they are OK.
Hope you have used stainless steel bolts.

Bolts look fine, but the side repeater may fail if mounted on the front wings as when the wheel is turned the angle of visabilty isnt met

Plus, it's extra weight on the wingstay- it's hard enough to stop them snapping as it is!
Ask anyone who's driven about 1000miles... your wing stays snap!

You can get your wing stays to last that long.
