Universal front paddock stand.
I have spent a long time looking into making a front paddock stand. I looked at what is on the market and the different styles. Of the under the fork design they appeared to be slightly unstable and/or lacked suitable lateral adjustment as you changed/upgraded your bike. So I decided to make my own design completely. I have designed a front stand that adjusts laterally to fit the size of any bike and provides a secure lock onto front forks themselves. These stands allow the removal of front wheel, calipers, disks, pads etc. An additional feature of the design is that the attachments can double as bobbin hooks on the rear stands that I make as the supports are completely interchangeable.
So here are the specs:
Frame made of 1 inch steel pipe (very strong), with a wall thickness of 3.2mm. Wheels are solid nylon 80mm. Supports are zinc coated threaded rod welded to laser cut lifting hooks which run through tapped holes in the frame. I have inserted a solid nylon button on the face of the hook to prevent any scuffing. Hooks are dipped in plastic to protect them against corrosion, scratches etc. Frame is powder coated. Frame has 2 nylon protectors underneath to protect the stands paint from the garage floor.
Similar operating design to my rear stands. Once you have lined up the lifters you dont need to keep readjusting them as the threads hold them in place.
As a note you must use the front stand in conjunction with a rear stand. Front stands used by themselves are potentially unstable.
I am keeping the price in line with the rear stands current reduced price of $99.
Feel free to ask questions, come round etc....
