I need to get my front wheel off so it can be repaired due to the lazy tossers in the council not repairing pot holes.

Does anyone who lives near me in Nailsea have a front stand or Axle Jacks or anything i can use to hold the front end up. It will need to be dropped off as i got no road tax or MOT.

Cheers

Ah, I see. Is this for the Gixxer? How is the Bumblebee doing? Any chance of making a trip to Wales this summer?

loosen all the bolts off on the sidestand, then put a jack under the engine at the front, the front wheel will lift of the ground and the bike will be stable effectively on a tripod between jack, rear wheel and sidestand
