I have several, most of my bikes sit on them 24/7.

Not a fan of the stands that pick up from the side
as they need several different adapters, they won't 
pick up old Skool bikes and don't fit on lifts. Having 
said that if I had one modern bike I may think different.

Out of paddock stands, most good ones come with
Adapters to lift bobbins or lift under the arm.

The only thing I avoid is paddock stands that slot
Together and are 3 pieces of tube. I find that with 
constant use and 200kg bikes they become sloppy
and are nowhere near as good as the one piece ones. 

That's my 10c worth.


I think I have 5 rears and 3 fronts

Nice one mate and cracking pics

a bead breaker, some big tyre levers, some rim protectors, tyre soap a balancer and a big compressor to blow them up quick enough to pop them on the rim, otherwise try and find a friendly shop that's got them all and will change them for a tenner a wheel.

just been looking on ebay , might be worth thinking about in the future
