    Am making a trolley to spin my bike around in a narrow space and wondered in any knows what the measurement is on the abba stand from the main bar to where the legs touch the floor?

    Many thanks in advance, am stuck at work on nights and just sketching dimensions for it

    I have a ramp for sale for just this purpose, but you just ride onto it, put sidestand down and then turn it .

    Main bar to the start of the leg is 12.5cm (gap between the bar n leg)
    Outside of main bar to the end of the leg 20.5cm (gap above including all the metal parts of the stand)
    Width of the abba stand main bar is 66cm

    Are these the figures you are looking for?

    Remember you would need some sort of dolly for the front wheel in order to get the bike to turn as the front wheel will still be in contact with the floor when bikes on the abba stand.
    The type of stand above is probably the simplest if it's only for moving the bike around in the garage! Or there are also paddock stands that have wheels built into them too for the same purpose.

    Thanks megawatt I have looked at these but the wheels are too small for where I need to turn the bike around and would get stuck hence making a trolley for my abba stand, that and saving myself a lot of money which can be spent actually on the bike and not for turning it around

    For my ramp? £50 plus courier.Trying to clear my sheds , as I need to sell my house soon It is big and heavy, but breaks down to several pieces though. Needs a bit of paint as it's been stored outside for a while. Length and width are adjustable too.

    Didn't need to as I work in engineering and can make stuff like this for free! I couldn't imagine he'd just give away for postage
