Tis indeed a good price, free hook thingies too. Ordered my set forst thign this morning.

Anyone know how long the postage takes? Its only a £5 delivery so Im not expecting it to be quick :(

I normally get my stuff in about a week from them

I have a Micron stand at the mo with the optional dangly hooks. The hooks tend to move usually while you're trying to locate them in the bobbins. I cured this problem by using cut down plastic tubes to keep them in place.

I much prefer this design where the hooks are pointing up and you can lock the distance to suit your swing arm width. Proper job.

Always been tempted to get a front stand and at this price it was daft not to.

So the Micron will be up for sale when these arrive along with hooks and cups.

The stands turned up yesterday. Nothing missing. The rear stand is slightly shorter than my old one and therefore has less leverage and requires more effort to lift the bike. But the hooks work so much better, much easier to engage than the danglies on the Micron.
Not used a front stand before. Wasn't too sure how the hangers engage as it seems a bit insecure to me. I'll have to play a bit more.
