    hi all, following my post regarding bike benches i need to find out widths of various stands. i have an abba stand so know the size of that but would be a great help if you guys who have normal paddock stands could measure the outside width of them ( where the roller/wheels are when on floor) the next time your in shed/garage etc. just keen to order up a bench but got to make sure i by the right one. thanks guys

    Why use a headstock stand with the ABBA Remal?
    I use a bottle jack to lift the front along with the ABBA stand.

    Re read my post. I use the Harris stand and headstock stand. Not the abba stand any more as using it with the headstock stand result in it not lifting the rear enough
