front cycle wing mounting
smart51 - 13/8/05 at 01:27 PM

My cycle wing stays finally arrived yesterday. They come in 3 pieces, a horizontal and two elbows. The elbows go under the cycle wing, I'm sure, and connect to the horizontal with 2 sleves. The problem is that teh wing is only just wider than my tyres and doesn't cover the horizontal tube. Do I have to cut holes in the sides of the wings to slot the pipes through?

This is where the build manual gets a bit "thin".

marc, must say, i absolutely loved the tytan with the v8 in it - i never appreciated how bloody low it was overall. The top of the engine seemed barely above my knees! Cracking stuff.

here ye go:



for some reason i cant fathom, i didnt manage to get a picture of the tytan with the HUGE audi engine... i think my mind wasn't working properly after seeing that...

thanks for the pic Rog,

Is that the raceleda / cortina upright cycle wing bracket? I guess it's the same principle for the sierra. Big dilema - how much should I cut off the huge wrap around mudguards?

By the way, do the edges of the GRP wings need to be trimmed for SVA?

yep same principle as the ones in the pic,
for sva you will need u trim, i normally hold this on with silicone and then it falls off without a trace after sva
