mnr do a nice csr style cycle wing. its not carbon look but still very nice.

MNR do a gorgeous (almost full_) wrap cycle wing... available in a two stage Carbon/gel-coat finish.

They cover 180 degrees + of the tyre so can be altered to suit your length (ah-hem!)

We have some which I cannot recommend enough - they stop stones from being flung up from the front tyres and wazoking you in the chops...

I have some pictures - which I will post later!

Not really "carbon fibre" for just 25GBP...
They are "4mm thick CARBON FIBRE EFFECT ABS"
I wonder how much they weigh too...

My carbon fiber cycle wings weigh just 260gr while the GRP ones stops at 520grams!

We've been known to supply a few sets...



"Carbon and Kevlar/carbon VX arches

carbon+kevlar-FR-rear
carbon+kevlar-FR-rear

(middle one is a kevlar test sample; the outer ones were produced for a Formula Renault that is used as a track-day car)

You get what you pay for. I would prefer to buy a set of GRP wings rather than a pair of fake carbon ones. But that's just me, i don't want to make any "damage" to this supplier. He makes a product (i don't know if it's good or not) for a very good price.

Good idea on the face of it, but wouldn't they look daft on an old Peugeot?
