Are they as good as they look? I need a stand and the Abba is under consideration.

Any user reviews or comments very welcome :D

Yes, they are about the best you can get. Get the optional swingarm removal adaptor.

I've had paddock stands, but had bikes slip off them, no such problem with the ABBA

You'll get some wag who'll say that the NWS stand is better, but only if you can get one 2nd hand, as they aren't made any longer.

Yes they are worth it, unless you just want to lube the chain.

Yes :)


I bought the usual paddock stands, front and back and wheel spinner gizmos to try and save a few quid ( i dont like spending) but in the long run i probably spent more on the above and they were ok but not as good as my abba stand. I got the one with the extra lift arms (as per picture) and its very useful and well made.

Abba stand all the way. It's more than paid for itself.

Got the one with arms, well worth the money, really stable, and dead easy to use.

Very nice, but £100 quid more than the Abba with arm.

But I could wheel it about ;)

Fair comment.


I suppose with a big enough queue of paying customers you could make your money back charging 50p a ride.:grin:
