I've now changed my first tyre so might as well finish the job properly. I can see 3 main options, anyone that has used any of them got any advice on which to go for?

Cheap option
Warrier

Middle option
Tech 7

Expensive option
Abba

I have one similar to the 2nd option, done the job perfectly for me so far.

I've got the Abba set up and it's been brilliant for the last 20 years...... If I divide the initial cost by the number of wheels I've balanced it was really cheap......

Be careful of the first option, if you only have one paddock stand what do you stand the bike on whilst you balance the wheel....

ps" don't forget to get a bead breaker as well......

ive got option 1 easy to use and no problems, only difference is the stands between all of them

I have the Sealey version. Works well. OK for occasional use anyway.

Sounds like any of them would be OK then. Might go for the cheap option plus a spare paddock stand, I've only got an Abba stand at the moment so it will come in handy if I decide to get tyre warmers one day.

That would be lazy when tyre levers work

I guess it depends on how much you love your rims.....

If you already got an Abba stand then you can get the Superbike accessory addition to get all wheels off the ground. Super stable.
