Scroll down to the bottom of the page and change your settings for this website to t"The Light Univers" instead of "The Dark Universe". That should help!

Thanks mate, but he's changed the text now anyway as it was yellow and I use the 'light universe' making it almost impossible to read unless I highlighted it.

And hey, as a moderator here I'm supposed to point that stuff out!

when I push in the adjustable , rubberised holders to match up with my swing arms and then secure this position by tightening up the screw, how can the holders swivel when I lift the bike up on the stand ????

I mean should they not be able turn when one lifts the bike ??

Hi Grego.

JUst leave the nut on the end of the thread and twist the threaded rod itself to adjust in or out. The thread inside the frame will hold the threaded rod in position, and will let it rotate freely. The nut is on the threaded rod as an ergonomic thing to help turn the holders.

ANy more questions just give me a shout.

Cheers

there is no nut on my stand, just the threaded bolts with the black plastic handle-thingy.....................

Did you buy your stand from Swanny?

**swanman** · 22nd July 2006, 16:39

I see what you mean. You have a mark 1 stand. There are no nuts on the end, you have the locking screws that come in from the top.

The locking screw should not be overtightened and really only used to hold enough pressure on thesupports to line them up with the swingarm. Once the weight of the bike come onto the supports there is more than enough drive to rotate the supports as required.

If you are having a problem do not overtighten the locking screws so that they can rotate.

Cheers

You get what you pay for.
In my oppinion the holders, once adjusted should lock into place AND STILL BE ABLE TO FREELY ROTATE. But I assume then the stands would become more expensiv to make -----about same as other ones sold in the shops !!!

You must be on commission or a good friend in need.

**imdying** · 24th July 2006, 18:11

Heh, naw, just a satisfied customer, and one on the right end of the development process by the sounds of it

Thanks for the feedback. Grego sounds like you are not altogether happy. Sorry to hear that. This is the only negative feedback I have received to date. The MK1 stands are a good product I use one myself every day no probs at all. The next stands are as practical as the orginals just more polished.

Grego if you are really so unhappy can I ask you to PM me and not use this forum.
