Doomking Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Harbor Freight has a all aluminum rear wheel stand.After a 20% coupon that I found in Cycle World magazine, it brings the grand total out the door at $41.06Is it good a good deal worth buying it, or are there other stands for the same or better price ?

SAMBUSA Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Do yourself a favor and get a good rear stand. Not a HF stand that will likely fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 theres a LP stand on on CL right now for 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 IP has one for $39 online, I know you're not close. In store it was $49. Picked one up today - not bad, plenty solid. After shipping to you it would probably be about $50. It was fun putting it up by myself. Now I have to devise a way to get it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Kickstand down (duh) lift the stand slowly and start leaning the bike when the stand gets close to the ground. This is a one hand on the stand and one hand in the bike operation obviously. I also loop a zip tie on the front brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hue jass Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I like the zip tie. I made a sidestand tether that loops around the front fork and goes over the stand peg. It keeps it from falling that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benyen Soljax Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 all you have to do is pick up your p***y lips off the ground and hold the bike steady while you put the stand down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
