Cycle Wings

[Robbie 2B]

A pic is worth a thousand words?

 

I pritty much agree with every one else when it comes to fitting the braket, but all i did was take massif slits out of the end of the multi bend tube and shove it into the braket, and then in the kit you are given another bit of tube which fits over the top and hides the mess of the two tubes fitting together.

 

Hope this helps

(p.s my brake pipe misses the braket)

cheers all, this task is difficult!

 

the pipes on the bracket leave the grp 2 inches away and the grp is too narrow

 

the front bracket only goes 2/3 max across the width of the tyre

 

bo11ox! :angry:

Yes same with ours, we have had to weld extentions on too

But as we have cut our GRP we can get the mudguard really close to the tyre and it looks cool

We are currently messing around with some fibreglass type stuff to smooth off the cut edges round the tube so it looks like it was meant to be done.

Err! i forgot to mention that i have the wider wings so i didn't have to cut anything out of the grp.

And again

I have standard wings and standard (donor) wheels. Here's my pick to add to the list. I propped the arch up with a screwdriver between it and the tyre for this photo so you can see how it attaches.

really appreciate the posts

 

 

what do you do with the little brackets?

[Guest Ant]

what do you do with the little brackets?

By "little brackets" do you mean the L shaped "tabs" which come attached to the main part of the bracket? If so, snap them off, and fit them onto the flat plate of the cycle wing bracket, one either side of the pinch bolt which holds the dummy strut into the top pf the hub carrier. You replace the donor's pinch bolt with a onger one and put a nut on it to hold the bracket at the rear in place.

 

Sorry - no photo but I'm sure I've seen one on here at some point in the past.

cheers ant, that stabalises the whole bracket i guess

 

ne1 widened their own arches or thought about how to do it?
