HEAT SHIELD CHIN RING

A chin ring heat shield for a wheel assembly arranged to provide a shield between convection and radiation heat from braking components and a tyre of the wheel assembly, the chin ring comprising a first, radially extending, flat portion extending from a first chin ring end and a second, concave portion extending generally axially away from the first portion to a second chin ring end, wherein the axial length from the first chin ring end to the second chin ring end is sufficient to block a line of sight between the braking components and the tyre when the chin ring is mounted between the braking components and the tyre.
