Cycle Wing Stays

[TonyC]

I need to reduce the gap between the f/wings and tyre, Caterham do three types for 15inch wheels 13/14 inch wheels and a shorter one which I think they call the SLR type, has anyone any experience of fitting the SLR type when using 185 x 60 x13.

My Superlight came with the shorter 13"/14" stays (I thought they were called 'Race'?). When one broke I mistakenly ordered the standard 13"/14" stay and there is quite a difference.

 

I have ACB10's in the size you mention and the shorter stays fit no problem.

I order a nearside wing stay from Caterham, it was marked Vauxhall Race, i think.

 

Was substantially lower than my offside one, so I ordered an offside one as well.

If it helps...

 

I've just changed from 175/55x13 CR500 fronts to 185/60x13 Yoko 48s. I have to assume I have these 'short' 13" stays fitted to my 2001 Superlight because the tyres' inside shoulders were rubbing the stays when under cornering load during a TD on Saturday ☹️.

 

...going to have to try bending them a little

The race stays have a section of the upright portion 'dished' for extra clearance. The standard 13"/14" stays do not.

Not so. I have some standard 13" wing stays which have the dish you mention and some without, and also one race stay without the dish.

Confusing, isn't it?

I think I am going to get mine cut down, CC are out of stock at present.
