Any suggestions for stiffening a RALTech wheel cover?
I put the Ultra version (which is quite thin and flexible) on a friend's bike and it rubs the derailleur when using the bottom sprocket (10 speed) and bulges further out to rub the chain stay.
Fiddling around it's possible to eliminate both issues, but as soon as the wheel is spun they reappear.
Bonding concentric circles or radial ribs of a stiffer material perhaps? Is there something in an aerosol that could be sprayed on, which stiffens when it's dried?
