Abba Stands
Are they as good as people make out?
The SX is longer and heavier than the zxr so it's a bit of a struggle to put on a paddock stand on your own. Someone is selling one on the SX forum, was wondering if it's worth the money?

Re: Abba Stands
Yes definitely, ten billion percent yes.
Probably the best bit of biking kit I own. Very simple to use and as the rear shock is not loaded as is with a conventional type paddock you can remove the rear shock if needed. If its a good price snap it up and you probably won't know how you managed without one tbh.

Re: Abba Stands
You will only ever have to buy it once, Kwacky. I think you would have to be a complete mug or very very unlucky to drop a bike off a Abba stand.

Re: Abba Stands
Honestly mate it is my best piece of biking kit of any type period. Genuinely believe you won't know how you managed without one.Kwacky wrote:Cheers Blade.
Now I've got two bikes it might be worth the investment.
Hope you get a good deal.

Re: Abba Stands
They are ace. Buy one with a set of connectors for each bike, wouldn't be without mine.

Re: Abba Stands
Yep I have one, very good, been using for years. However I would like to get one of those spider things, that suspend the whole bike, you can work on the front and the back together. Saw one when I was at Silverstone, and I am sure Pitty has one....will be an investement when I start earning some money again

Re: Abba Stands
I have one and it was great to work on the bike with but I have no bike now and just an abba stand to look at. I do have a ped in the garage but it won't go on it unfortunately
