£60 for these, sound quite good value. They would fit 15x7s easily. Would they fit a locost?
Adam
you could trying asking tiger!!!
Ned.
I'd be a bit wary. Ask Viper how he feels about Tiger mouldings
Where is Viper, haven't heard from him for a little while. What was the matter with the tiger mouldings?
Adam
Apparently, they don't fit Tigers!

that's my point 
So I shouldn't bother with them?
Adam
Bit bellow the belt!
They're only cycle wings! They don't really need to "fit" anything. My cycle wings are fine.
If you can't make a pair of cycle wings fit it's time to give up, it's like asking if a hat will fit on your head.
Are they REAL CF, or just that stuff that looks like CF?
Well, if they expect me to pay £60 for them I jolly well hope they are proper CF. Even if it isn't then they could be caught by the Ad standards
agency, cause thats what they advertise them as.
Adam
Is that £60 a pair?
You don't really expect to get a pair of totally CF cycle wings for £60 do you? 
No, £60 each.
Adam
keep your eyes peeled on ebay we got some for £50 for a pair which were to fit 15s/195 tyres, but were running 16s with 205s so we had to take the Mk
Indy stantions through theside of the wing which is really difficult. and ended up making a much bigger dirty hole in the wing which is a shame
:'( but a gromet will hide it from maplins
PS: ours were real carbon fibre although they were very thin
That's the idea of carbon fibre, it's to keep the weight down not to look pretty. The look is easy to achieve by cheaper means but it
defeats the object. Racing teams paint over it would you believe.

i've heard that tigers carbon cycle wings are only a wet layup, ie carbon matting laid up wet in a fibreglass type mould. they won't be as
light or as strong as a pre-preg carbon cycle wing. depends what properties you want in the wings really. they will look the part and are proper
carbon fibre, but don't have the low weight and stiffness properties you might expect..

Hi there,
I made my own to and they feet 205 tyres R15 wheels
Ummm, they're cycle wings, who gives a crap if they're solid CF and whether they're wet lay up or prepreg? There's precisely 0
point in having a solid prepreg autoclaved cycle wing, they'll look no prettier than CF over GRP, the weight savings will be so tiny as to be not
worth worrying about and the cost, by their very nature will be far more than a more pedestrian method. All they'll do is cause genuine heart
ache when one flys off and gets crushed under a lorry. But hey, if you're really worried about the structural properties of your cycle wings,
I'm sure Reverie would be only too happy to make you a set of the most expensive cycle wings on earth. Whilst your at it, I'd recomend you
get them to gold plate the inside surfaces to allow better heat transfer.
