Abba or Paddock?
Hey all!
I have been thinking about getting a paddock stand to help clean my bike, but have heard a few folk talking about the Abba stands. Apart from the price difference, is the abba stand better or worse or just the same in terms of stability when using it? Any bad points to them? A paddock stand would be ace but i dont have a lot of storage space and an Abba stand seems "flatter" than the large paddock stands Cheers Duck-man |

Me to, but I have heard good things about the NWS stand. Remember the Abba gets a 10% discount if you mention the forum I think...

Re: Abba or Paddock?
Abba gets my vote, mainly because I've never heard back from NWS when I mailed them about shipping over here.
A bit fiddly to put right alone without scratching the frame  , but stable as a rock after that. I'm not exactly feather weight and mine won't even budge if I sit on the bike "half bum out of the seat" style.

Re: Abba or Paddock?
Total overkill for cleaning though... I love my Abba, it's paid for itself a few times over, but a half-decent paddock stand costs half as much and it'd be fone for this sort of thing. You can get folding ones too which could be right up your alley- the Abba's quite slim but it's also pretty hefty, so storing them can be a bit of a sod.
