Hi. i still use these, have fitted to 4 of my bikes and they do the business, a bit fiddly to get set,they should be out in front of both brakes ie facing way tyre rotates... forward.. willie carton ...from a damp windy Ulster ..cherrycycle1@yahoo.co.uk Aldo Ross <aldoross4@siscom.net> wrote: I've seen plenty of 1930s-1950s thorn catchers, so I know how they should go, but what about the tire savers we all had in the 70s and early 80s, made from wire and flexible tubing? Which direction should they be mounted - so they "follow" the direction of tire rotation, or facing against tire rotation?
