Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hello everyone,I have a bit of an issue with my stand, i don't trust it!!! i'm convinced my bike is gonna fall over when i park it. I'm sure my stand is smaller than on any other bikes.I was wondering if anyone else ever felt the same.Please feel free to tell me if its all in my head and me being silly!!!

Lonely Old Dave Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Don't park with the bike facing downhill, as it is will easily roll off the stand. Good tip is to carry a bit of 25mm plywood, about 100mm square. If you park where there is a steep camber and you think the bike leaning too far, stick it under the stand. Also useful if the ground is a bit soft. Very hot tarmac gets soft on a hot summers day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 it'll be just in ur head... a new new shiny expensive bike.... ur just paranoid that it'll fall over cos of the above.. the stands will have been rogorously tested to make sure it can hold the bike up with plenty of stability.. always good to check the securing bolts every once in a while tho...
