Paddock stand bargain - I think

[N8te rider]

For anyone who's after paddock stands, Ghost seem to have good deals on at the mo. I bought my first set and it was £35 (+£10 postage) for front and Rear. I think that's quite a good deal and wanted to let you guys know.

Am I reading that right? Do you get 2 stands? or 1 stand which can be used for both the front and rear?

[mike_avfc]

i read it as you get a front and a rear !

[plowsie]

Front and rear set.

[RichT]

I see what you mean, but there are spec's for front and rear. I'd be expecting two stands in the post.

[N8te rider]

Yep. 2 stands. Came next day delivery too! Not bad me thinks.

[Owenski]

yeah, agreed then Bargain!
I was looking for 2 second hand stands anything less than £20 each at Rufforth last month, with no sucess. A couple had the stands for £15quid but none of the fittings.
I'll keep this thread until after pay day :) cheers N8te

I never really got on with this type of front stand. (The two rubber covered pieces coming out sideways from the solid piece) Always used to be really fiddly and would slip a lot.
I ended up going for the under yoke stands, much easier to change wheels, forks etc.
Just my twopenneth.

Haven't got them under the bike yet, but seems slighty loose after bolting it together. I'm guessing you get what you pay for with this. But will give them a go this weekend and report back.

i got these and they seem ok. yeah abit loose when together but the rear is fine. just put it on bike now.

I too put these on today. Seems stable enough but not good quality. One of the wheels fell off after 1st use (well, the e clip did, but it comes with spares). Overall ok, you get what you pay for.
