What did you do to your bike today???

Def not

Nobody knows where chez blink is

 

Fitted the carbon Front Brake Reservoir bracket...

 

Well, that's going to handle a whole heap better now!!

 

That's the primary reason I 'needed' it

 

But now it's also needing some blinger bolts

 

now i have told my family im visiting on Monday, they have decided to leave the country. Still, five hour ride to catch up with them, want to do it, not sure if its wise

 

I think it'd be wise to take the car. Think weather, comfort, snacks along the way, maybe bringing something back, etc

 

thats boring though.

i was gonna have a slow ride over to chester, stopping on the way, its about another 2 hours more of that now

plus, in the car, its gonna cost £150

 

oh, does this look alright?

i dont quite get how they work, but sure ill work it out

 

They look good, decent reviews except one saying they're too short.

 

Save your money and get an ABBA one on Shpock at the minute

I got one in February and its spot on



I got the arms adaptor kit so I can get the front or indeed both wheels off the ground at same time

 

I wouldn't really trust a cheap stand to hold my bike up, what if the worst happened and the frame buckled whilst it was up on the stand..

 

That’s why I took the plunge and got the ABBA - I had a rear paddock stand and it was always a stressful time lifting the bike on it. The ABBA is effortless and rock solid

 

I use both front and rear of these Ryde stands and swear by them. Also use the ABBA, but that's more for longer term standing than say simple clean and maintenance.

 

I'm similar and only use the Abba stand for longer term lifting. For the front however I use a triple tree head lift as I don't feel the ones that go under the forks are very safe/secure.

 

^^^
Yep, agree on the triple tree. I have one (Constand) that fitted the RS50. So easy and stable.

Never got around to buying pins to suit the Blades.

 

I find the ABBA quick and easy to use - only yesterday afternoon used it just to get the bike up so I could clean the wheels

 

and now im just confused lol

 

Sorry about that @blink but having had both paddock and the ABBA I can say the ABBA is easy to use on your own and is very stable. Paddock stands are less so.
Once I got the ABBA I gave my paddocks away and haven’t regretted it for a second

 

does the abba need anything screwed to the bike?
