Tried out the Abba stand with front lift attachment that I bought this week.
It seems pretty stable, and although the strap device holding the rear down (on one side only) is a bit " Heath-Robinson" it works well enough. It'll make it easier to clean, having both wheels off the ground, without having to use two paddock stands.
I have a lift attachment It's not a standard ABBA kit made by someone on FB IIRC... Anyway never came with a strap so I use an 1'' ratchet strap, works fine. I've seen the ABBA strap it is a bit meerhhh...
We all know what a ratchet is...It's a bit bigger than a mouse shi*
Because the Tuono is nose heavy when mounted on the pivot it's not possible to lift the front while tensioning the strap at the rear, so a ratchet strap would be a much better option. Thanks for the tip!
I was also thinking about a metal bar with a hook at each end- if I position the arm right, the lower hook would latch onto the arm's bar when I lifted the front wheel.
If it proves possible to move the arm towards the front while the bike's still lifted, the reverse should be possible to get it down again.
(I know what I mean, if it works I'll post a vid or pics).
I'd prefer the spider type on wheels, but as I already have paddock stands for both ends plus a headstock stand, it's a bit overkill.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
