Seeing as my office is right next to a Screfix, can anyone recommend/find me the correct "mastic/pu" style product to use on securing my cycle wings to their stays?

www.screwfix.com

I want to pop in and buy a tube rather than wait and order online etc

Something like this?

Is Sikaflex not suitable?

I'd have thought the flexible properties would give it a bit more life before because it's doesn't go brittle under vibration.

I'll soon find out, anyway...

eBay can find you PU adhesive quite cheaply. Any PU in a 310ml mastic gun will be the right stuff. I doubt one brand is much better than another.

The one i found on screwfix is PU based....

travis perkins sell sikaflex.

ahving tried a couple of other supagrip products as well as that grey stuff that calims is stronger then wleding but is it f**k, I've come to the conclusion that

there's only one sikaflex
one sikaflex! one sikaflex

The trouble with most of these PU based products is that they're not flexible. Certainly most of the "no more nails" substitutes go rock hard. Not so good for an environment with lots of vibration....

I'd stick with sikaflex (even then make sure you get the right type) or tigerflex.
