Broken Cycle Wing Brackets

[Guest Livvy]

I have a 2B Sliding Pillar Robin Hood using Sierra Struts and both Cycle Wing Brackets have broken (and with only low mileage!)

 

Can anyone help with any of the following

 

Drawings / Sketches so that I can make some new ones

 

New modified / upgraded Brkts for sale

 

Or do you know of a manufacturer selling these

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Try the factory I know for a fact that Richard has developed a new stronger version.

 

Most of us suffered with this problem.

 

One of mine lasted about 400 miles, another I know of broke on the first trip out after registration, his let go and took the brake pipe with it.

 

You can just re-manufacture yours putting some trangulation across the corners where the flat plate and the tube part company if you understand what I mean.

Are these still fairly simple tubular brackets with the ends squeezed together? That was always the weak point and, as Ian says, plenty broke - usually inconveniently on the m-way! I simply welded mine back together and they've been fine ever since - even with my amateur welding.

Are not the brackets made from mild steel tube & rod? If so it's more likely to be metal fatigue due to vibration -- so what's needed is a more springy steel; not stronger; although a bit of R.S.J would probably suit --it would be too heavy to vibrate.

Think there's some examples on http://nw.rhocar.org

THESE work well.

They are an upside down triangle, joined at the bottom & fit to the bottom wishbone bolt, then bolt to the top of the upright.

Shame theres no picture, but you could call them & maybe they could email one to you.

Hi Ian,

 

I'm in the same boat as Livvy, do you have any photo's details that I can view for the mod's. Had a look around, other sites etc but can't see any details.

 

cheers

Thanks for all of the responses and support I have received a catalogue from www.rallydesign.co.uk Part No. DAR020

 

So I think I will purchase these

 

Thanks again
