Guest Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Bought the Abba Stand for my Bike recently and am well pleased with it - not cheap but for those of us with no centre stand it makes easy work of general maintenance. Easy to use and allows safe & fast one person jacking of the bike - works almost like a centre stand really with the added benefit of a telescopic handle for levering the bike onto the centre position.Don't know what everyone else thinks of this but I did loads of research and whilst there are loads of decent paddock stands general view was that they all made it difficult to lift the bike on your own.

Guest Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 use paddock stands myself, don't have any problems fitting them solo. The Abba stands are meant to be damn handy and even easier to fit. You can lift the front wheel up with a trolly jack used in conjunction with the abba stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
