The best cycle wings
So what i wanted to know is which cycle wings are the best, ie. which will hug a 15" alloy with 195 tyres on without a large gap at either end
of the wing. Does that make sense? I'll have a look for a pic to demonstrate but any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards Chris

don't forget about the original style wings, they do still look good and are much easier to fit, plus more practical when it comes to road muck
from the wheels

Personally, I like the Dax cycle wings. They hug the tyre well and are about the right length IMO. Most other cycle wings are either way too short or
way too long.
I'm still on the lookout for Dax style arches but without the Dax price

I'd have a good look at the arches on an otherwise ugly thing called a CMW Snake.
Have a look at Moorron's car.

I'm with Phil on this one. You can't beat the look of the dax arch, beautifully curved in all directions, but at a cost

Well i have to admit the dax ones are lovely but like we say, they are a little expensive. And although i would love to have some pretty polished
ones, i don't have the expertise or time (read effort) to do them.
Matt at procomp has come up with a couple for me to take a look at, so i'll keep you all posted, if you care that is! thanks for the input
though!!
Regards Chris

Yes but is it a metric or imperial adjustable?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
