    Hi all just brought one of these and the biggest pin is size 18 but it’s like very loose and wobbly. Do any of you guys use these stands and what size pins do you have? It’s a 2015 bike. Thanks

    Yep. Find a bit of tube to sleeve one of the pins to a bigger size. I can't remember the exact size, but someone will likely post what size it is.

    I’ve just looked to buy a 23mm but can’t see one anywhere. So just ordered a 24mm and if needed I will shave a bit off

    Just a heads up. I ordered a 24mm and had to shave 1 mm off. So now sorted. Funny thing is looking for a 23mm is like looking for hens teeth. No where to be seen.

    Did you try the 24mm to see if it fitted

    If anyone is buying one for their SP, double check as mine is 27mm. I think the SP is bigger for some reason.

    That’s strange I would have thought they would be the same. What year is your SP?

    2016. Yeah I thought it was odd. When you look at the list provided further back the SP is a different number as well.

    Learn something new every day. So obviously that must be modified for the SP. I never knew that.

    Mines a 22 SP and I've ordered the 24mm. Will have to get the grinder on it when it arrives.

    Don’t shave much off. I literally rubbed mine on sand paper

    I just used a ⅜ deep reach socket over one of the smaller fittings.

    Now that’s thinking outside the box. Nice idea or it works it works
