Abba Stands

Post by Kwacky »

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?

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.

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.

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.

Hope you get a good deal.

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

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
