Bad week...

So it started last Sunday evening when I had a deer run out on me and by more luck than anything else I just clipped it with the right front at about 60... It survived as did I think the car... However today on a run to Basingstoke to watch a game of football the right front cycle wing front support snapped clean in two. It was at a position where I had drilled a clip hole so don't know if it was as a result of hitting the deer or as a result of a weak point where I had drilled it. I don't want to repair it but plan to replace both sides... Anyone recommend a supplier of cycle wing brackets for Sierra uprights.

Thanks
Dave B

That is not a bad week! The car, the deer and you all lived to tell the tale - pretty good week I reckon! Good luck with the repairs!

Do a search on here for broken wing stays. My Luego supplied ones lasted 500 miles before they broke the first time, got fed up repairing them so made some heavy duty ones that have lasted for 6 years so far

That's not a bad week. A bad week is when your cam belt snaps the day before a sunny weekend!

Not happy...






I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

Bad week? No no no, for the fast 2 weeks I've been coughing up thick green glue and blowing me nose off.. All good doing the day but lying in bed? No no no....

Last night going along the A66 despite tons on rabbits right at the edge of the road didn't managed to run one over.. Doh!
