Cycle wings fitted

I fitted the cycle wings and stays, it was quite fiddly to line them up to cover the wheels correctly.

Wheels fitted

I've fitted the wheels..... next to do is the camber and alignment.... the book recommends 0 deg of camber for road use and half to 1 deg for track.... 0 deg toe in on the rear and 3 to 4mm toe in on the front. I'm going to use a digital spirit level to work out the camber and measure the toe in using string and measuring the angles.... more to follow...

New wheels

New wheels (ok second hand but in good nick) off of ebay as usual.... I've struggled to find information on sierra wheel sizes but finally found this......
Sierrra wheels are 14 inch diameter on a 108 PCD with a 63.3mm bore
tyres are 185 60 R14
I've gone for 15 inch wheels with a 108 PCD
tyres are 195 50 R15 which gives almost exactly the same tyre diameter, unaffecting the speedo.
The offset is ET35 so hopefully they won't stick out past the arches.....
