utilising paddock stands for the front

Post by cobbadiggabuddyblooo » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:55 pm

One guess who's been shopping at Aldi :lol: :lol: with one stand set up for the rear of the bike I have a second one that's to be set up for the front but the instructions where pretty vague only making you aware the attachment item and handle to be used for the front lift.
My questions being I could see by the photo the metal plate faces downwards that the two blades stick out from but when rolling does one blade sit underneath and the other infront of the forks or the other way with one underneath and one behind the forks before rolling?????
I could see behind maybe fouling the speedo cable?????
another question would it be safest to roll the rear first then the front????

Yer yer I know theres a frame that goes with this to do the work before all the cheap shots :lol: :lol:

Mine fouls the speedo cable, I just take it off when I use the front stand

Google is my friend...prongs to the bottom/rear by the looks of things.... But yes I figured that might happen with the speedo cable... I'll have another go tomorrow and look at access to the axle to remove the front wheel if possible....
