When i had it all set up like the video they seemed to be well in and everything was tight. Or at least as well in and tight as you could get with the bike on the angle the side stand puts it on. Is it just my curvy that seems to lean a LONG way over on the stand. The fittings seemed to apply a lot easier, do up tighter etc when the bike was upright

I can't see what difference it being on the side stand makes. You put the appropriate fittings in, pull the stand together tight and do up the knurled bolt that locks the frame together, then wind the handle that pushes and retains the adaptors home. Once that is wound in and the frame bolt done up, I still cannot see how the bike falls off it.

Used mine dozens of times, often leaving it on for days at a time. No problem whatsoever.

How different are the pointy fittings from the curvy? If they're similar you can pop up and borrow mine.
If not - oh well

really? I have never had any bad events happen with my abba, I use the standard ABBA-supplied bobbin things. Always make sure its nice and tightly done up.

I also find it easy to get on and get the bike up on it (i do it so the bike rolls forward)

I've had mine and a fair few others on the abba stand on my fairly uneven garage floor while I've used sledgehammers, cracking bars with scaff poles on them for more leverage, allsorts.

I've even turned a curvy without its swingarm upside down on one.

Never dropped one, what are you lot doing wrong?
