Hello

I've just bought an Abba Superbike stand for my Desert Sled and it works perfectly.
The interesting point with this stand is that you can remove the rear wheel even when the bike is on the stand.

I've just bought the Abba Stand also, what are you using to go underneath the stand to get the clearance?

It is interesting to see so many posts about this topic here and elsewhere. Not sure what the deal is with choosing a stand. I happened to have this cheap Trackside stand you can get at most Cycle Gear locations (U.S. only I presume) in stock. I use the rubber supports, which slip right under the back of the swing arm to make it quick and easy to get up, and handy when removing the rear wheel.

30 bucks at HF, and some pipe I had laying around.

They come with regular pickups for under the swingarm, so if needed you can use these to remove the rear wheel. They don't feel very stable to me with the shape of the swingarm so when I'm not removing the wheel I rather use it with a pipe through the axle.

A wood plinth, 4 cm thick, large enough to support the 4 contacts point of the stand.
In about 2 months, Abba will sell an adaptator to do the same.

Hi,

Yes, that's what I'm using - a bit of trial and error to start with. My first plinth wasn't thick enough and the second too thick - about right now.
Abba used my bike for the measurements about 7 or 8 months ago. Are you using the cable ties to hold the pegs back or have you managed to use anything else.
By the way where are you?

I'm using 2 straps found on an old bicycle pedals (to hold the feet, but I don't know how to translate it from french).
I'm living in France, Brittany.

Toe clip straps?

Hello

Toe clip straps?

Something like that 30 cm textile straps, easy to install and remove.
