Re: front paddock stand
I have always used the headstock stands as they are far more secure than those shown in the pics. You are rather limited maintenance wise too as the fork legs cannot be removed on these. I bought my champion one for £20 second hand, rusty but it has been superb, rebuilt many front ends. Keep an eye on the bay as they are always popping up.

Re: front paddock stand
Just bought one of these stands from germany the only problem is that now that I have built it up, the top half swings forward or backwards and doesn't stay upright, can someone tell me if they are meant to be like that or is there something missing or have I done something wrong

Re: front paddock stand
Have you got the bike on it? The stands aren't rigid by themselves - but once inserted into the steerer tube, the stand can't possibly move. If it is moving then there's something wrong with the stand.brido wrote:Just bought one of these stands from germany the only problem is that now that I have built it up, the top half swings forward or backwards and doesn't stay upright, can someone tell me if they are meant to be like that or is there something missing or have I done something wrong
