someone must make cycle wings 240mm wide that actually follow the curve of a 15" wheel properly

the ebay cheapies definatley bloody don't

without going silly money carbon fibre anyone know a supplier?

You could contact a silly-money carbon fibre place and ask them for Clear Gel coat ones, or black pigment gel'ed ones?

would love the carbon mods set but at £189 + p&p
not seen any fibreglass options on there website but they do have the perfect wing to fit my wheelsize it may end up me having to bite the bullet and buy a set but its money i would rather spend on a new sump

I think that Steve is hinting that a certain carbon bits manufacturer may also do some parts in alternative materials and I would tend to believe him.

i took a pair of the MNR long ones, and slimmed them right down to be like the Dax ones, look really good now. will try and find a pic later on.

dax ones get my vote
(I might be a little biased though)

dax use 205/50 R15, 205/45 R16 or 205/40 R17 and the wings are the same for all

quantum and dax ones look good
not a fan of the mnr ones myself

if carbon mods do offer their wings in fibreglass why don't they bloody say so <rolleyes smiley>

Or make your own

It is soooooooo easy

Best thing about the MNR cycle wings is that because there's so much material, you can cut/file them down to just about any length/style you want.
