Cycle Wing Test Fit

Took with me the cycle wings to test fit. The plan was to test fit the right one, get it done and then bend the left stay. As usual, things took a lot longer than expected.

To trial fit the wing, I had to cut the excess metal strip from the stay. Around 5cm had to go. This meant using the dremmel with a cutting disk. It was one of those few times where I regret being to tight to buy an angle grinder... Almost one hour later, had both arms of that stay trimmed and could test fit the cycle wing. The front arm was spot on. The rear arm had the first bent too tight. After unbending it a bit and adjusting the 2nd bend accordingly, had a satisfactory result.
Time to clean, pack and go home. The other stay will have to wait for next week...
