Hey, i need to replace my cycle wings but i am un decided which style to go for.

What is the idea behind the shaped ones?

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

or should i just stick with plain ones? I have found these the are ABS so will last longer.

Are there any good ones that are more commonly used? I want something a little wider for running R888's on a 15" wheel. Probably a 205 tyre.

thanks in advance

Jon

Good quality plain ones all the time

Depends on the rest of the car really - trackday orientated, rollcaged, bear essentials then I like the idea of the CSR style ones.

Allegedly these have some aero advantage over standard wings.

If its a typical roadgoing cruiser then standard cycle wings might suit it best.

Carbonmods also have these very slender slimline jobbies:

Well it will be used on track days a fair bit but also day to day so I'm still not sure. What do the ribbed bits do on the other type?

I though carbon mods were not trading?

Carbon mods ones are discontinued according to page on the end of the posted link.

there is loads of nice kit on there but they are not making them at the moment it seems

I might buy two of each and see whay i prefer then sell the others on again.
